8.50 Kempton Good Authority 2pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 16/1 (Totesport, Betfred, guaranteed, 14/1 generally guaranteed)
A typically competitive 0-85 handicap for the track. Take Cover has never raced on the surface, Chapter And Verse doesn't look a horse to back at short odds, I'm not sure Shahzan is looking for a step up to seven furlongs, not sure Numerical is ready or well enough handicapped. Added to that, Kakatosi is well held by Good Authority on a line through Konstantin. Good Authority looks a very good price here for a progressive five year old. The race he won at Leicester on his penultimate start looks like very decent form and has been franked numerous times. Konstantin won next time out. Muarrab won a decent Newbury handicap next time out. Amazing Amoray won impressively next time out. Light From Mars won two runs later and followed up with a narrow defeat. Frozen Over (11th) beat Rossetti (8th) next time out. It really does look like strong handicap form, and although Good Authority is now 7lb higher, he has a record of 2 wins and 3 places from 7 runs on the all weather and that form suggests he can better that record. He is a course and distance winner, and if his regular pilot Tom McLaughlin can negotiate a passage from a wide draw in stall 11, I think he is good enough to win again. Strike off the last run at Salisbury on good to soft over six furlongs, it is not his trip, and he has never done anything on ground with soft in the description. Anything 14/1 or better is too big and should be taken.
Profit & loss: day: -5.00 / month: -35.80 / year: -82.41
