As always our focus will be on the handicap contests for each meeting but will occasionally include a feature listed or conditions event too. Keeping records of our endeavours to a 1pt level stake at SP, naturally we will personally be looking to get better odds but for the purpose of these results we record to SP.
We will keep up with our occasional lay opportunities of short priced favourites too, managed to lay another odds on shot last week and a repeat of that effort would be good to keep those figures high. As always we will keep these results separately from the handicap figures.
Here's a link to this Wednesday's race card; EVENING RACECARD
The going on the polytrack surface is described as 'standard to slow' and the current weather forecast is for plenty of cloud and a good chance of some showers perhaps. A max temperature of about 21C when the meeting gets underway.
Here are our selections for this evenings three handicaps and two nursery races tonight;
18:10 -- 7f Nursery Handicap (2yo).
13 2yo's declared for the opening contest, a nursery event, the maiden form shown by most of these doesn't amount to much although GLOBAL EXCEED [6th 6/4F] could be worth chancing with plenty of experience in the bank.
Richard Hannon tends to have some decent youngsters too and although SHOYD [2nd 12/1] hasn't found too much in maidens should be bit more forward in this sort of company of this mark too.
19:10 -- 6f Nursery Handicap (2yo).
Another 2yo event although better class hence only the small field of 6 runners declared. The well bred SHAHEEN [3rd 10/3] could be the option here, none of these has had much racing so far and this one together with CAMEO STAR [4th 14/1] could be the ones to be on against the field.
20:10 -- 1m Handicap (London Mile Series Qualifier).
Dozen declared for the next round in this series, another chance given to MUDALLEL [WON 10/3F] who was 4th for us last week, along with top weight MUSIC LESSON [9th 6/1] who has been placed here in maiden company and gone close at Goodwood and Chelmsford too this season.
20:40 -- 7f Handicap.
Plenty in here with chances, but fancy a pair of 3yo's against the field, PLANT POT POWER [5th 7/1] is already a course and distance winner and should be right up there, along with ENVISIGING [3rd 7/1] who will have Silvestre De Sousa in control too.
21:10 -- 1m 3f 219y Handicap.
A max field of 14 here for the finale, the wide draw is a bit worrying but both TUOLUMNE MEADOWS [4th 6/1] and ZAMADANCE [6th 6/1] are selected against the field in this tricky contest.
It's also worth having another look at the market with WOLFCATCHERJACK [WON 9/4F] as his trainer Sir Mark Prescott is a master of handicapping his inmates with a low mark for 3 maiden runs and now up in trip and into handicap with this low rating could be a fly in the ointment. We will see what the market says, well it spoke volumes and expect this to run again soon under a penalty.
Staked -- 11 points.
Returns -- 7.58 points.
Results will appear later tonight. Currently we have a deficit of -15.625 points that we bring forward to this round of racing. Lost 3.42 points tonight sadly even with the two winners, so our loss grows a little bit more to -19.045 .
LAYS -- We now stand at 9 from 13 successful lays after another odds on favourite was beaten last week.
19:40 7f Maiden - FIRST DANCE [WON Evens. Damn].
Has to do more to beat the likes of NATHEER here and opposed.
Our next meeting here at Kempton Park on Wednesday 23rd August.
