All out to win

A frustating week so far, but I'm taking these two to reline the pockets today.

Bank £8,875

Wolverhampton 17:30 Khanivorous £400 win 8/1


Showed a good attitude to win a maiden over 7f at Kempton on third start back in Nov 09, that wasn’t a particularly strong race, however He caught the eye on that occasion as he looked to have plenty of scope to improve physically. Reappeared last December over 8f, shaped as if needing the run but certainly looked to have put on physical improvement. 1st time visor looked to have sharpened him up, when putting in a good effort finishing 1 ¾ lengths back to the useful Chilli Green over 1 mile at Kempton back in January, travelled strongly and faded in the final furlong, Returned to 7f lto at Southwell to finish 4 ¼ lengths back, travelled well but looked unsuited to the surface. Looks like a fairly decent type and for me 7 furlongs is his distance, yard does well at this time of year and is currently going well, Mathew Davis know's his way round here and the booking by connections is significant. Plenty of pace anticipated pace which I think will suit if he gets a position just behind the leaders, One or two other interesting runners, Coolminx has good turf form but holds plenty of question marks coming into this and is probably better suited to 6f.. Avonrose has shown ability, but placed on last five starts and looks to have a poor attitude and I think she’s outclassed. The selection looks relatively unexposed and appears to have been aimed at this race today, so I fully expect a bold bid.

Update:mid-division, driven 3f out, ridden over 1f out, stayed on under pressure on outside to chase leaders inside final furlong**4TH

Kempton 18:40 Jungle Bay £400 win 7/1

Not usually a race I’d get involved in but I’ve been following this one closely, and I’m convinced he will win races this year.Brought over from France last December and is well thought of by connections. Has good form in France, put in decent efforts and times against better types then he meets today, mostly racing over 1 mile. Was a little unsettled on first two starts for new yard. Showed he was acclimatising when finishing 1 ¼ lengths back to Rubenstar over 7f at lingfield last month, that was despite being badly hampered and getting pushed out slightly on the final turn. He then finished 1 3/4 lengths back lto to the useful Norville over 6f despite a poor position getting caught up on the rail, I think he found Lingfield a little on the sharp side. Should be in no danger of getting outpaced in this company and if produced earlier then on previous occasions he’ll make full use of the run in here at Kempton. A nice type with a good pedigree this looks an excellent opportunity.

Update:reared start, in touch, pushed along halfway, hung right over 2f out, weakened soon after**8th

Bank = £8,075
