Re: Kempton - 20/04/09 - Evening Racing Kem 6.35 Fire and Rain 2.1 pp bog 15 pts This is what I said about this one the other day when it was a non runner, 'The Daly horse who earlier had form with ping pong sivola which clearly reads well is respected by this once aiden o brien trained horse is finally getting his act together or so it seems. He showed nothing over novice hurdles but connections cleverly used a mark crated to go chasing and its worked so far. He has won two straight now after being pulled up on his first chase go and maybe the better ground has helped too. Hence if it did rain today and got into the ground it may not suit ideally but at the moment connection are keeping him in. Both his wins have come despite him losing at times loads of ground jumping left handed so going left handed today should in theory help more, there could still be a bit more to come and he could propser.' Slight difference today is that it is back right handed which doesnt really suit him ideally yet he hasnt done it in his last two wins right handed so not enough to put me off him.
