Continuing with the next instalment of what I hope will prove to be a productive year throughout 2019.
We about to reach the half way point of the year already and with Royal Ascot 2019 been and gone we have the summer festivals at Galway, Goodwood coming soon plus we'll be over to Laytown Beach and the autumn meetings in Ayr. The EFL League One fixtures have come out too and AFC Wimbledon will begin another season at home against Rotherham. The pre season friendlies will begin for us Dons fans in early July and we've a short tour to Germany too so the summer will keep us busy.
Back now after the abandonment of the last meeting due to Thames Water problems we will continue to focus on the all weather horse racing now while the lights still shine brightly here at Kempton Park throughout this year. We are hopeful of better season than we experienced last year but it's just some fun and excitement to mix up the week we have started the first half a little behind to SP though it's positive thus far with regular winners and successful lay bets too.
Let us continue with this our fourteenth Wednesday night of 2019, and will continue to focus on the handicap contests for each Wednesday evening meeting though we will also occasionally include a feature listed or conditions event too if there is one available. Keeping records of our endeavours to a 1 point level stake at SP, naturally we will personally be looking to get better odds than this but for the purpose of these results here we simply record SP returns only. Following a small profit last meeting our deficit is currently on -16.40 points to SP returns overall. We continue to battle hard to reduce this and thankfully there is still plenty of time to get this back on track.
This Wednesday will be meeting number fourteen for the 2019 AW season and we are expecting an eight race card tonight with the split of the 7f Handicap into two divisions. Therefore we have six handicaps this week for us to look through and enjoy. The action which will now commence at 17:15 with a 7f Apprentice handicap contest and the card ends around about 20:50 with our final handicap contest over an extended mile seven furlongs.
Here's a link to this Wednesday's race card; RACECARD
Here are our handicap selections for tonight;
17:15 -- 7f Apprentice Handicap.
Our bumper card starts earlier than originally planned with a fourteen runner handicap for apprentice riders. As always looking for a little bit of experience amongst these both amongst the jockeys and the horses even though they are all 3yo's. COMEONFEELTHEFORCE [WON 15/8f] won here not too long ago and today's jockey was on board when a good runner up at Lingfield so is selected to run well again for Georgia Dobie stepping back in trip too.
ISLAY MIST [11th 12/1] is dropping back down to a winning mark having shot up after winning at Beverley. A recent 4th at Lingfield suggests she's on the way back and the return to 7f should suit.

18:50 -- 7f Fillies Handicap (Div One).
The fillies handicap event has been split into two and our opening division has 12 runners to browse through and are headed by CHLOELLIE [2nd 5/1] and this 4yo is a multiple course and distance winner here with Oisin Murphy booked to ride might well take a lot of beating at this level despite top weight. SERAPHIM [3rd 9/1] from Marco Botti's stable is a lightly raced filly so far and has slowly improved with each run to date, considered in her own class against other fillies and worth a chance here.
19:20 -- 7f Fillies Handicap (Div Two).
The second division has 11 runners headed by VENTURA BLUES a 5yo mare who is generally consistent but hasn't won for couple of years now will be worth looking elsewhere. REGAL BANNER [4th 11/4f] is a 3yo filly with only 4 previous runs and should find this better than when sent off favourite for an unsuitable soft ground event last time out.
LOCAL HISTORY [3rd 6/1] won her maiden at Yarmouth last time and has been made favourite here before when placed that experience should put her in the frame again at least and would not need to improve much to win.

A slightly better grade now and fourteen runners to assess, JUST BRILLIANT tops the weights, but there is not much between these at all. SEVEN CLANS [12th 33/1] won his maiden here but has not been back since, then won three at Wolves as well as a race at Newmarket, first sight of a racecourse this year but if fit to go should run very well at decent price.
Regular runner here KINGSTON KURRAJONG [DH 2nd 4/1] is coming down the weights a bit now but still runs his race and runner up last time suggests another good effort is near.

20:20 -- 1m 2f 219y Handicap.
The top one YOU'RE HIRED is on my list to follow but might be time to drop that here, it's three years since last win and the handicapper has hardly given then a chance dropped only 3lb since then and overlooked. The bottom weight is the interesting one for me RAIL DANCER [Non Runner] might be a 7yo but course and distance winner plus successfully in last two races and placed on last try here at Kempton looks to have a strong chance.
A strong stable and consistency suggests another good run from MAINSAIL ATLANTIC [9th 4/1] with recent Royal Ascot winner Andrea Atzeni on board the 4yo should not be far away.
20:50 -- 1m 7f 218y Handicap.
Our finale is a stayers handicap with a max field of fourteen declared and wide open betting market, GREENVIEW PARADISE 5yo Mare and winner at Wolves and Southwell in April and her revised mark might suggest a hat trick will be trickier. Gary Moore sends hurdler DEEBAJ here and is a rare flat runner but well up to winning a race like this if fit to do justice.
NAFAAYES [3rd 6/1] another 5yo Mare and by sire Sea The Stars has plenty of stamina for this and while better results around Lingfield this is her trip and given another chance to put herself in the frame again.

Staked -- 12 points.
Returns -- 3.875 points.
Results will appear here later during Wednesday evening. We are currently on a deficit of -16.40 points to SP returns for the season, six months of the season to go though. Very poor with just the one winner and several places meaning a loss tonight of -8.125. Thus our deficit increases again and we are now looking at a loss of -24.525.
LAYS -- 12/19. Another successful lay last time around and will see if we can find one or two short priced selections and will post here if we have any for tonight. Again both lost tonight so we move forwards with the lays to 14/21 a 66% result.
Tonight's Lays;
17:50 -- QUEEN OF THE SEA (7f Novice Fillies) LOST 3rd 9/4
18:20 -- QAADDIM (6f Novice) LOST 4th 7/2.
