Kempton Park Race 4

Try Unibet's New Improved Acca Boosts Nursery (Gbbplus Race)

Prize Money: $22,140

ROYAL BODYGUARD (4) provided a closing third on recent nursery debut at Newmarket (1408m). Looks fairly treated from the same mark and this further increase in trip promises to suit. Good claims. LOBLOLLY (1) appreciated the step up in distance when a front-running second at Chelmsford (1609m) earlier this month. Major player making nursery debut. STEEL DRUM (2) could find this easier than the competitive nursery he ran in at Goodwood. Previous Chester third puts him in the mix. GOING COMMANDO (3) was beaten among selling company last time. Improvement needed wearing first-time blinkers.

Last start 8th of 11 at Goodwood on July 31 over 1400m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Sir Albert with 53kg at $15. The start before that got back early 3rd in a small field at Chester on July 11 over 1400m, 2 len behind Sir Albert carrying 58kg at $7.50. Can improve and should figure in the finish.

At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Musselburgh on August 8 over 1400m, 4 len behind Homestrait carrying 59kg at $6. The run before that 5th of 7 at York on July 12 over 1200m, 6 len behind Amazing Journey with 60kg at $8. Hard to see him troubling the top chances this time.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd of 7 at Newmarket (July) on August 9 over 1400m, 2 len behind Harlequin Angel with 53kg at $15. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Doncaster on July 23 over 1000m, 5 len behind Exclamation carrying 60.5kg at $9.50. Sure to be competitive with so few opponents.
