Not one of the four Flat meetings today looks an easy Placepot target but Kempton, a track that the team has become very familiar with in recent months, probably makes the most appeal.
5:30 - Nothing original in the first, but both Plymouth Rock and Absinthe stand out a mile as two lightly-raced sorts, still on the up when last seen, amongst a group of fully exposed rivals, so it's difficult to envisage a first-leg exit with both on side.
6:00 - The second leg needs keeping simple too, with the sole newcomer making little appeal and the ones at the head of the market, Swindler and Musical Mark, the only ones with any worthwhile form to their name.
6:30 - Leg three strikes as a real potential stumbling block, but, equally, will contribute to a larger payout than the majority of evening meetings at this track. As the one with the most solid form Port Hill has to be the first selection, a repeat performance of his last two starts (when filling the runner-up spot) sure to see him thereabouts, though the feeling is that he's vulnerable to improvers with Red Amy looking one with the most potential in the race and Mick Channon's Tallawalla on a good mark now if she can build on the promise of her two-year-old efforts.
7:00 - Gracious Melange's winning debut at this track was full of promise but, at such a short price in a race where so many have the potential for better, she's worth opposing. It's hard to knock Dream On Buddy on what she's shown to date and with the form of her last win receiving a boost from Duellist since, whilst Totally Ours shaped like an extra furlong would be right up her street when winning over seven furlongs at this track in October, so they're the two we'll be putting our faith in.
7:30 - Cold Turkey looked like the sort who could rack up a sequence when successful over course and distance recently and nothing else in the race appeals for placepot purposes so we're going to preserve some lines by banking on him.
8:00 - King's Song has shaped as if a step up to this trip would suit and strikes as the one open to the most improvement in the final leg. However, a likely steady gallop will place the emphasis more on speed here and two horses better equipped for such a scenario are Rowan Tiger and Franco Is My Name who bid for a four-timer and a five-timer respectively.
