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, our last pair of selections ended in a win and a loss so it's a mixed bag but to be fair they are all usually short price 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 eighth meeting for 2017 and we are expecting an eight race card tonight with two handicaps to enjoy so will include the Nursery and Classified races as well, tonight's action will commence at 17:45 with the 5f Nursery.
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 good chance of some rain, expecting a max temperature of about 17C by the time the meeting gets underway.
Before we get underway tonight I expect we will take a moment to pay our respects and remember the passing of stable hand Kenneth Dooley who died last Saturday after an incident in the stable yard here at Kempton Park. RIP
Our eight race card tonight now has four contests for us to review which consist of two handicaps, a 2yo nursery and the concluding classified stakes, so will be a busy night, there might even be a lay bet but that will be updated later;
17:45 -- 5f Nursery Handicap (2yo).
A field of 10 two year olds will get us underway tonight, there's only 4lb between them so there should be a bunch finish. We begin looking at MOSSKETEER [5th 12/1] who hasn't shown a lot in maidens but should benefit from the assistance of Josephine Gordon.
Include JONNYSIMPSON [WON 9/4F] as well in a low key opening contest, this one has at least been placed a few times and has a little bit more experience too.
18:15 -- 5f Handicap.
A sprint handicap that has attracted a field of 10 runners, but just the 3lb separating them all. LADY JOANNA VASSA [Non Runner] is a regular winner and a course n distance winner too, should be close and together with the top one MISS ROSINA [4th 6/1] are our pair of selections against the field tonight.
20:15 -- 7f Fillies Handicap.
The fillies handicap has a max field of 14 where HARBA [12th 10/1] can go well for William Buick a winner of three races in the summer this Frankel filly is capable if in touch turning for home. She along with CASTLE HILL CASSIE [4th 14/1] a dual winner this season too and showed her well being with a success at Newcastle on the AW last time out.
21:15 -- 1m Classified Stakes.
Our finale for tonight is a 1m stakes contest, again a max field of 14 declared for this, difficult to assess these as a non handicap but CAPTAIN SEDGWICK [Non Runner] has at least won recently and should find this company better than the last handicap he contested. JUST FAB [4th 10/1] also won a similar race in May has some place form too and still priced up about 8/1.
Staked -- 8 points.
Returns -- 5.25 points.
Results will appear later tonight. Currently we have a deficit of -42.42 points that we bring forward to this round of racing.
1 Winner, 2 Non runners and another 2.75 points lost taking us up to -45.17 for the next week of racing.
LAYS -- After last weeks effort [one win/one loss] we now stand at 11 from 19 for this season, those 8 unsuccessful ones were all at short odds, will try to get a few more favourites beaten before the end of the season.
If we have one or two Lays tonight they will be updated here.
Lay - AL MUSTASHAR [19:45 7f Novice Stakes]
LOST 11th 5/2F a good success here now 12 from 20.
