Re: Kempton 31st 2:25 Kempton Park - Betdaq Median Auction Maiden Stakes / 5f With American Light declared a non-runner that's one pace option gone and therefore The Strig should be able to get an uncontested lead upfront. This, and the coinciding drop in trip could be the winning formula in what looks a race with a lack of depth. On his latest outing, The Strig raced in a seemingly hot maiden at Lingfield, when finishing third in a race that has included numurous horses that have gone on to win since including; Passion Overflow, Purple Gallery, Ming Master and Cosimo De Medici. The latter named found himself five and a half lengths behind The Strig in fifth and has since gone on to romp home off a mark of 71, therefore The Strig could be well in at the weights and could be one to look out for in the future after being handed a first handicap mark of 69. The Williams and Carson team combined yesterday with The Scorching Wind to take the most valuable handicap of the day at Lingfield and on the whole, Williams' horses are in decent nick. The main danger here seems to be Blue Zephyr for Willie Muir and Martin Dwyer. He has shown promise on his two starts to date, the latest when coming off of a 9 month break in a poor maiden at Lingfield. He ran green that day and ran on fairly well but he was given a hard time of it. I don't believe he is open to that much improvement and I fancy him to find my selection too good today. It wouldn't be fair to not mention the newcomer of the race Dominium who runs for a yard who has the odd debut winner but he isn't particually well bred and has another engagement on the third of Febuary so he may well need the run. On the whole this seems a two horse race and The Strig is a confident selection.
