I'm not a taker of Multakka

18:50 Kempton - LAY - Multakka (Forecast 3.5)

Today's race is the 18:50 at Kempton, a class 6 maiden over 1 mile. Multakka is forecast favourite trained by Tregonning and ridden by Dwyer.

But Multakka is still a maiden after 9 races and is a something of a disgrace given this is his first race for 433 days. This racehorse is likely to need this run.

He is vulnerable giving weight to more progressive 3yo's in this maiden, 9-6 is the most weight he has carried and he is unlikely to be sharp enough on this occasion.

Fair Sailing and Sister Act should go well in an open maiden but - at these odds - I will be laying the ghastly swine Multakka.

The Brigadier's lay finished second

    Excellent lays and sound reasoning
    Just one small point gordonstown had been gelded since its last run and i believe it contributed to an improved display so i didn't follow you with that one. Keep up the good work
    cheers
    Mick

    Thanks for the kind words Mick. I agree that Gordonstown's improved form was down to him being gelded. Well done for avoiding that one I wish that I had.
