Welcome to Kempton Park racecourse here for Wednesday night we return to regular action on the all weather flat track under the lights. So far the opening couple of months of 2020 have been fair, and the meetings come thick and fast during the all weather season. The storms recently have made it a bit chilly but spring will appear soon and the better horses will start to show too. Away from the horse racing AFC Wimbledon are back on track for a big return home to Plough Lane having launched another fans initiative the Plough Lane Bond set about trying to rise significant money for the new stadium and when the Bond deadline passed we had already reached the £5.2 million mark so impressed by this the people involved have extended the end date till May hoping to hit something nearer £7.5m and continue with the Stadium Build. Six nations rugby and a wonderful win for Tyson Fury last weekend have also kept us busy. All horse racing results here are reported to 1pt at Starting Prices (SP) and after meeting #5 we are now slightly ahead by +1.16, results to SP we will aim to continue this good fortune and see further improvement in the results.
Throughout the year we will keep up with our occasional lay opportunities of anticipated short priced favourites too. Naturally we will keep these results separately from the handicap figures we had been fairly successful with our selections throughout last year managed to get plenty of favourites beat so we finished on 40/54 (74%). We reset the counters for 2020 and will be continuing this throughout the year again. Currently a mixed start with the favourites winning occasionally so we are 6 out of 8 after the opening few meetings.
This Wednesday is meeting number six for the 2020 AW season. Tonight we shall be expecting a seven race card where all bar one event are handicaps. The action will still commence at 17:30 with an apprentice handicap contest over six furlongs we should end the card around about 20:30 with our final handicap contest over a seven furlong trip , a race which has now been divided at the final declaration stage.

Going and Weather -- The going on the polytrack surface is described as 'standard to slow' and the current weather forecast for this Wednesday is for a lot of cloudy weather and it's going to be very cold all day. Only a light chance of some showers too and we expect the temperature to reach single figures around 7C by the time the meeting gets underway. February chills continue, but March just around the corner and maybe it will begin to improve soon.
Here are our handicap selections for tonight;
17:30 100% Profit Boost At 32RedSport.com Apprentice Handicap
(Class 6, 6f, 8 runners)
Our opening event is for 3yo horses and Apprentice jockey's so with Sparkling Diamond [3rd 9/1] we have on board a 3lb claimer so plenty of experience which should always be a good thing. While support for Feel Good Factor [5th 10/1] should be noted and I'm not too put off with a 10lb claiming jockey here as every drop in the weights helps and Erika Parkinson did win two rides ago around this track.
18:00 32Red On The App Store Handicap
(Class 6, 6f, 12 runners)
While the 6yo Viola Park [Non Runner] doesn't inspire too much confidence on recent efforts has been placed and won here, the drop back to 6f isn't a bad move and looks a big price. While Englishman [WON 11/2] is a 10yo has shown he's still in good order and was only just denied a hat trick last time could also go very well again here at a price.
19:00 32Red Handicap
(Class 4, 1m, 14 runners)
Sherpa Trail [10th 8/1] is 2-2 on the AW at Wolves but comes here with a strong chance of remaining unbeaten. Stepping up in trip looks achievable and although this is a handicap it's significant that he's already defied a penalty and might still be lightly weighted. This season has already shown us what Agent Of Fortune [7th 10/3] can do and although I'm sure she'll need a break soon I wouldn't be surprised if they keep trying until the find her limit already a winner no less than seven times this winter.
19:30 Wise Betting At racingtv.com Handicap
(Class 6, 1m 2f 219y, 14 runners)
20:00 32Red.com Handicap (Div One)
(Class 6, 7f, 12 runners)
The final handicap event tonight has been divided and in division one we've a field of twelve, the course and distance winner Mr Mac [6th 16/1] is at least back to his last winning mark but perhaps not in the best form so we are hoping for a little bit of a surprise perhaps in such a low grade race anything is possible. Briyouni [8th 8/1] has similar notes to the above, another course and distance winner back to their last mark (-1lb lower in fact) so both at 16/1 will include them in place bets too.
20:30 32Red.com Handicap (Div Two)
(Class 6, 7f, 11 runners)
And our finale is division two of this seven furlong event, one that might see a big effort off this mark from Violet's Lads [3rd 7/2] the 6yo mare has won and placed here off around this figure, wasn't that far away last time. While also interested in Molly Mai [4th 20/1] despite her lack of success on the AW has at least won a race and never really been that far away since, with David Probert in the saddle anything is possible at 25/1.

Twice a winner over a mile and a recent runner up over this trip (Lingfield) makes Music Major [6th 16/1] a place prospect at least for me. Another at a good forecast price is Rail Dancer [12th 6/1] was also a runner up here at the beginning of February and has won off far higher marks than this so at 14/1 represents a decent win/place option for us again.
(Class 6, 7f, 12 runners)

Staked -- 12 points. Returns -- 7.5 points.
Results will appear here later during Wednesday evening. This season we started afresh and will try hard to stop going well behind but all results are accurate and recorded to SP returns to a 1pt win stake only and updated each meeting. A disappointing start to 2020 was soon put right and after meeting #5 we now carry over a small profit of +1.16, results are recorded to Starting Prices only. Just the one success tonight and a small loss this time around of -4.5 points which means our running total is now -3.34 moving forward to next week.
LAYS -- 6/8. We had a good season last year with the lays, aiming at favourites and not afraid to take on short odds on shots too. The plan will be for at least one or two each meeting and we will keep those results separate from the handicaps.
