BBOTD Thursday 28th February

Last one for the month! I'm only playing for pride :) Kempton 700 - Chookie Avon 8/1 Paddy Power BOG Not shown his true colours up in class the last twice, although the Wolverhampton run wasnt without promise (first two ran well since). Back into a C5 Hcap from a good draw with very capable pilot on board and Im hoping he starts running to form again. Not been far off, even when hampered off this mark previously so if all is well he should be in the firing line!

Re: BBOTD Thursday 28th February 18.00 Kempton: Fire In Babylon @ 11/4 Bet365 Put this one up two weeks ago for a race at Lingfield when he played up at the gates and was a late withdrawal. So same reasons why he's a very interesting runner are still applying, as well as it has to be stated that this race tomorrow is a really, really poor affair and he should be the class act, if you can say so in a race of that nature. Anyway, it wasn't difficult to be impressed by Fire In Babylon's most recent performance at Kempton when he travelled nicely in rear but had loads to do from well of the pace while turning for home in a rather slowly ran affair. While the eventual winner had the run of the race, travelling prominently and was able to kick away 2f out Fire In Babylon had to work his way through the field from the rear, yet he ran on very strongly under a hands and heels ride to finish 3rd in the end. He surly looks like a horse that is well ahead of the current mark, which is confirmed by the fact that he's able to race off 3lb below his last winning mark. He's also generally lightly raced for a five year and looks primed for a big run tomorrow.
