This looks an interesting Maiden with potentially some nice horses for the future. Its difficult to be too confident in races of this nature with so many un-raced horses its hard to know what your dealing with. However it nearly always pays to stick with horses with experience and that brings in to the picture TESTING and SEQUINED. This pair are closely matched on a line of form through a horse called Dancing Sands of which both finished behind in 3rd on different occasions.
I prefer the claims of SEQUINED with benefit of CD 3rd on debut. Having proved his liking for the surface I thought she was very professional in her work. She missed the break and had to make up ground early but she traveled nicely after she caught the pack. She was in last position all the way round the 1 mile trip until being switched wide and finishing very strongly down the centre of the track. I was really impressed with that effort she showed a very nice attitude. It is a concern that she may miss the break again which could be detrimental to her chance however I will give her the benefit of the doubt being her first ever racecourse appearance. Tissue price of 5/1 looks a really attractive bet and if you can get anything near that price I suggest you snap it up. I make this filly near favorite.

This looks a a trapy maiden and as such a watching brief may be best advised. My token suggestion would be ELSIE PARTRIDGE. Her Wolverhampton 4th last time was not as bad as it looked. The Wolverhampton surface has been riding very deep and slow and she struggled to stay home after looking the likely winner turning in. On Kemptons quicker surface she may well slip the field and get home today. Her debut 4th at Newmarket has worked out well. That race has produced 3 winners and I will give her another chance to confirm her early promise.

In an open looking handicap I will take a small Each Way chance on AVA LOVELACE. The filly has had only 2 starts this year and has finished last of all on both occasions. Both of those starts were on turf however and a return to this surface may see her in a different light. I liked her Lingfield effort last year where she traveled sweetly bounding clear over the minimum trip. She is drawn badly in stall 12 but at the likely odds 14/1 on the overnight prices she offers bit of each way value. I would also be interested in Jay Bee Blue who finished 4th over CD in a race which is starting to work out well. The 2nd won next time out and the fifth has finished 3rd in a decent Wolverhampton claimer.

Gung Ho Jack was the winner out of the same race Jay Bee Blue finished 4th. As I previously said that race has started to work out well and he has previously proven he can put back to back wins together. Clearly in good form and can pose the biggest danger to my selection PERFECT VENTURE. I am pretty keen that this horse will run well tonight. He has been running well against horses rated a bit higher than this. This represents a drop down in class and with 5lb Claimer Ryan Tate booked I think at the likely each way odds he can give us a solid run for our money.

Plenty come here in good form. TRINITYELITEDOTCOM is on a sharp upward curve, he won a decent Class 3 event at Warwick 12 days ago and he is taken to continue his progress stepping back to a Class 4. Has to defy a bad draw but plenty to like about him this CD winner.. Pivotal Moment comes here off the back of a decent effort but both his Kempton efforts have been poor. Pettochside won well after being well supported on CD returning from a 120 day absence. Steps up in class here though and have to question if he will back it up. Peace Seaker is on a hatrick bid and will also run well from a bad draw.
20:10 Kempton
In such a bad race there is no need to get involved at all here.
20:40 Kempton
This race is marginally better than Div 1 but another to avoid.
21:10 Kempton
GRENDISAR rates a strong selection. If all 9 turn up I think this a great each way bet. It is going to be very difficult to get this fella out of the frame here. 4/1 on the overnight prices I think that is a fair enough price. Kempton form reads 223. His run 2 starts ago behind Tajheez was impressive given he challenged on the inside rail which for a long time was the slowest part of the track. He was making ground on the eventual winner who won going away but still putting distance from the rest of the pack. He then went on to finish 3rd after being badly hampered in a race where competition was stiffer than this. The 2nd that day Grayswood has won next time out and is looking like strong form.
Good luck with your plays today.
