As we continue to focus on the handicap contests for each meeting we will also 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 here we simply record to SP returns.
We will keep up with our occasional lay opportunities of short priced favourites too, we were not successful with our last pair of selections last time sadly, both were winning favs and undeterred we will see if there is another selection for tonight. Naturally we will keep these results separately from the handicap figures.
This Wednesday is our twenty sixth meeting for 2017 and we are expecting an eight race card tonight with five handicaps to enjoy, tonight's action will commence at 17:40 with a 7f Handicap.
Here's a link to this Wednesday's race card; RACECARD
The going on the polytrack surface is described as 'standard' and the current weather forecast is for a cloudy day with a chance of some rain, expecting a max temperature of about 17C when the meeting gets underway.
Our eight race card tonight has five handicap contests for us to review so will be a busy night, there might even be a lay bet but that will be updated later;
17:40 -- 7f Handicap.
Taking a chance on couple of outsiders tonight where both SEYASAH [4th 20/1] and WAQT [2nd 16/1] are maidens but have several pieces of place form and it's not inconceivable that they can improve to take a race of this nature.
19:40 -- 1m Handicap.
Our 2nd handicap is a class three race over a mile, and again we look for something at decent prices against the field. Godolphin don't have too much dead wood in their yard and we will take DONT GIVE UP [5th 3/1] as one selection who has twice won in the last four runs and that included a win here over 7f and appears flexible as far as trips go.
That along with EAGLE CREEK [3rd 5/1] who is a regular over the mile trip and winner at Lingfield in April and placed at Pontefract later too, both are about 12/1 so considered as win/place options.
20:10 -- 1m 2f 219y Handicap.
Tricky one to call but both PERFECT QUEST [10th 25/1] and ADMIRAL'S SUNSET [7th 33/1] have been winning this season and while still a couple of pounds higher than their last winning mark its not out of the question that they can stop improving as they are only 4yo and hail from top yards.
20:40 -- 1m 2f 219y Handicap.
Seems every handicap has a max field of 14 tonight so filtering out a couple of selections is not easy, however, both SPIRIT OF THE VALE [Unseated at start 12/1] and LYRICA'S LION [5th 5/1] have recent place form off a similar mark and proven effective over this trip, if anything they might be better over a little further so a strong gallop will suit.
21:10 -- 1m 7f 218y Handicap.
Stayers turn for the finale tonight, top weight PARIS BOUND [2nd 10/1] is clearly not one to have maximum faith in but this is low grade stuff and can prove he's worthy of this burden.
At the other end of the weights is OCEAN GALE [3rd 16/1] who has won over a furlong less and worth a chance here in this company.
At the other end of the weights is OCEAN GALE [3rd 16/1] who has won over a furlong less and worth a chance here in this company.
Returns -- NIL points.
Results will appear later tonight. Currently we have a deficit of -25.42 points that we bring forward to this round of racing.
Places the best we can do tonight at decent prices yet no winners, now going to be down -35.42 to go forward to next time.
One for tonight - MODERN LOVE [18:40 6f Maiden]
LOST 3rd at 5/2, so a success this week. 11 from 18 now.
Our next meeting here at Kempton Park will be in a weeks time on Wednesday 11th October.
