Yesterday's selection ran well at a nice price of 9/1 but was unfortunately touched out of the places close home & finished in 4th. Onto today & a few selections that catch they eye & look worthwhile.
Southwell -
16:10 - MILLKWOOD Win EVENS = LOST (2nd) & JIMINY EW 6/1 = LOST (4th)
Firstly MILLKWOOD has been the model of consistency this season in class 4 & 5 handicaps, finishing in the places no fewer than 6 times (his last 6 runs) & the drop back into maiden company today makes him look quite appealing. Of all the runners MILLKWOOD stands out on form credentials & while he is yet to get his head in front he brings forward by far the best consistency at the best level, the worry would be that this is his debut on Southwell's fibresand surface so whether he will take to it is unknown, however he has posted very good efforts on both soft & heavy, fibresand is likened to testing ground on the turf & while this is no guarantee it is a pointer that he should be ok & providing he does take to the surface fine then he looks very much the one to beat. The simple fact for this one is that MILLKWOOD has beaten horses rated a fair bit higher than all of his opponents today & if able to produce first time on this surface then he certainly looks worth another chance to break his maiden. JIMINY at a nice price looks worth a small EW bet to act as some cover for the main bet, He is still unexposed & ran a good close second over C&D last time out, all be it in a weaker race but further improvement isn't out of the question & he looks one of the more likelier ones for the places, also if MILLKWOOD fails to produce JIMINY looks to have the best proven form on the surface of those in this race so could be the one to capitalise.
Kempton -
18:30 - HAVELOVEWILLTRAVEL Win 5/4 = WON
Jeremy Noseda's filly looks a worthy favourite for this one & is still very much unexposed coming to what is only her 3rd race. Made a winning debut over C&D in maiden company back in September & followed that up with an encouraging 2nd in a class 5 handicap also over C&D 2 weeks ago. Dropping into a class 6 event tonight makes her an eye catching prospect. She still looked a bit green second time out even though managing to finish 2nd in what looks on paper a stronger event than this & she looks the type to improve for that run. Will have to give away some weight pretty much all round but not a huge amount & given the form of the majority of the field she could certainly go very well despite giving weight. Of course this is a handicap event so there are others who are not without chances & the main dangers are probably the hat trick seeking Princess Spirit & top weight Authoritarian. The former has won 2 C&D events on the bounce recently but they look weaker than this & she could struggle to overcome any improvement that HAVELOVEWILLTRAVEL has to offer, Authoritarian hails from the powerful Hannon yard & has shown some decent handicap form which would entitle her to get involved here but she gives the selection 3lb & could also struggle to deal with anything more HAVELOVEWILLTRAVEL has to offer. All in all this filly has known her job well on her first 2 outings & its unlikely she has shown her best, a replication of her already decent form should see her go close in this one & looks worth the punt.
ALSO A DOUBLE -
16:30 MUCH PROMISE & 18:30 HAVELOVEWILLTRAVEL @ 11/4 = WON
