745 Kempton

Grey Waters 11/4 PP/Betfair

Joseph O'Brien will probably have other things on his mind but interestingly sends a couple of runners to Kempton Park. I quite like the look of Grey Waters who won at Listowel and Killarney over hurdles and then last time out did well to finish 4th to Ben Rumson at Dundalk over 12f.
That horse has won twice since so the form is solid and now steps up in distance which should be ideal. Oisin Murphy has been booked and looks a fair bet to me.

4.45 Kempton: Class 6 Handicap, 1m

This looks a race where one of the younger, lightly raced three year olds really should land a blow. Mio Ragazzo looks the pick of the lot, if this doesn't come too soon and he can overcome a wide draw.

However I rather go with experience in this race. From the bottom end of the weights, nine year old Pick A Little looks primed for a big run. He comes here off a nice win at Brighton, yet can race off 2lb lower on the All-Weather, than he did on turf the last time. 

Pick A Little is equally as good a horse on the sand as on grass, in fact his win record on the All-Weather is slightly better.

A mile on AW has never led to success, though. However he gets it well enough as seen at Brighton in desperate conditions three weeks ago. 

It looks significant that Richard Kingscote takes the ride. He's sat three times on Pick A Little and steered the gelding to success on each occasion. 

Drawn in eight should still be okay and he should have not too many problems settling in a nice position not too far off the pace. 

Selection:
Pick A Little @ 17/2 VC

G'day mate, am I allowed a pick in the Melbourne cup? - 04:00 Flemington - Libran 60/1 bet365 0.5 ew 

 

Rules says ok 

Any race can be selected as long as it is covered by the Racing Post and appears on  Oddschecker. Races outside of the UK must have a price quoted (no tote dividends acceptable). Eg; USA, SA, FRA, JAP, HK, AUS etc...
