Hi all,
A quiet start to the week but I have a couple of interest at Kempton this evening.
The day’s most valuable race is Kempton’s Unibet Zero% Mission Handicap (7:00).
Kempton
7:00 – Symbol Of Light has placed on his last two runs and is knocking on the door. A big run should be forthcoming from the likely favourite. Greatgadian is another coming into the race in good form and will be bang there if reproducing his ¾-length 3rd of 13 in a similar race at at Southwell last time.
Greatgadian’s stablemate Dragon Icon is another consider. The 4-year-old hasn’t been the easiest to train having just the four career starts. A winner of the first two of them, here and at Lingfield. Fifth in the German 2,000 Guineas last spring, he was off for 8 months before a 7 ¾ length 11th of 12 at Lingfield 18 days ago. He should be sharper for that run and could be open to further improvement.
Rhythm N Rock wasn’t quite at his best when 2 ½ length 5th of 10 to Al Agaila over C&D last time. The break shouldn’t be an inconvenience for the 6-year-old who is 2-4, 3 places when returning from a 90-day layoff. One of those successes came over C&D and he’s not handicapped out of this.
In all probability the most likely winners are Symbol Of Light and Greatgadian and they are priced accordingly. I’m going to take a chance with Dragon Icon and have a small saver on Rhythm N Rock.
Dragon Icon -1pt win – 6/1 @ William Hill (BOG)
Rhythm N Rock – 0.5pts win – 20/1 @ Bet365 or 18/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes.
I’m not sure there will be any more selections until Saturday but keep an eye on your inboxes for updates.
Cheers
John
