No idea quite how Sean Levey ended up six horse widths ride on our selection at Kempton last night from stall 2, needless to say I wasn't happy Richard Hughes didn't make it to the track in time.
6.40 Chepstow Ice Tres 3pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 12/1 (Bet 365, Skybet, Sporting Bet, 888 Sport, William Hill, Independents)
A filly who recently found something like form and indeed was quite an eye catcher from out of the handicap in a better contest than this last time out. She had shown little in six previous starts under rules, but she appears to be learning the game and she travelled really well held up in rear for Andrea Atzeni last time out. She finished well in a race where it paid to be up with the pace, and that was a class five event - she drops in class to a 0-60 this evening. She did well to get third alongside a good all weather regular in Mazij, four lengths behind The Blue Dog, who is in the form of her life, and both of those had first run. The big field this evening should suit, and it is interesting her sire, Iceman, and Dam's sire Emperor Jones, as well as her half brother Afram Blue all showed their best form on fast turf. The stable are in good form and have a 12% strike rate with older horses at the track. These types of bets sometimes don't work out; she might not follow up, might get temperamental at the start, etcetera, but 12/1 looks a very good each-way price in this company and I'm inclined to have a decent bet.
Profit & loss: day: -7.00/ month: +9.25 / year: +16.41
