KEMPTON PARK RACES 2016 -- WEDNESDAY NIGHTS #2 13th JANUARY



Kempton Park hosts it's second evening meeting of 2016 at the Sunbury venue this Wednesday night on 13th January. The meeting will begin at 16:35 with a 7f Maiden.


Last week we started off with a nice small profit of +2.5 points and will continue to keep a running total of our results to a 1pt win at SP, the focus remaining on the Handicap events and a few selected conditions or listed events too. 

This season we are also selected a few short favourites to "lay" and last week our first one was successful at 10/11F, these statistics will be kept separately to the main profit / loss figure this year.

There are 6 races scheduled on the card and this includes 4 handicaps so we will be kept busy covering these.

Here are our selections for those handicaps tonight;

17:10 -- 1m 3f Handicap
Our opening contest tonight features a good field of 12 runners, looks wide open and as it's a low grade event recent form can go out of the window. 


I'll side with the pair of I'M HARRY [3rd 14/1] and FAIR COMMENT [4th 25/1], both are course and distance winners and are high and low so we'll have options either way they break out. Close but not quite enough, place win though.


17:40 -- 1m 4f Amateur Riders Handicap
The amateurs turn now, so often a race left till the back end of the night but here they are so they can get round, jump off and head home for tea ! 

A field of 10 tonight, with Godolphin providing an interesting handicapper in GOOD JUDGE [8th 11/10] who will have Alex Ferguson in the saddle claiming 3lb. No don't worry it's not Sir Alex, this youngster is pretty good and has a superb chance of a big yard to impress here.



18:40 -- 6f Handicap
Tricky sprint handicap up now, MISU PETE [Non Runner] has already done us a good turn last year winning in January at 25/1, not sure they'll be as generous with the odds this time around but one to go on the short list. 

Additionally at the other end of the weights we've got GOLD BEAU [3rd 11/1] with Cath Gannon on board. Has been runner up on last two visits here and worth a go to claim another win.


19:10 -- 7f Handicap
Though we've 11 declared reading some of their recent form you have to wonder if any of them can win lol. So many tailed off, pulled up and finishing a near distance away leaves us with only a few real options. 

FAIRY MIST [7th 8/1] seems likely to give his running again and despite top weight has wins in the bag and can use that experience to good use here.



Staked -- 6 points
Returns -- 1 point (Non Runner)


Profit b/f -- -2.5 points.

Lays -- 1/1

Couple of places at good prices but no wins tonight, just the one non runner and we go from a 2.5pt Profit into a 2.5pt Loss to take forward. 


A Beautiful sunset .. or is Heathrow on fire....
