7.20 – Black Cadillac 2pt win 11/2 or bigger
Another days racing, which is likely to be blighted but further heavy downpours and non-runners. This leaves us with a very competitive card on the all-weather at Kempton, where Black Cadillac looks a fair price in a tricky handicap.
3 runs ago he scored over course and distance, in impressive fashion, when travelling easily behind the early pace, before quickening well to put the race to bed. He followed this up with a slightly disappointing effort at Wolverhampton. He again impressed with the way he travelled, but didn’t stay on in the same manner, and was collared late on. His latest effort was back at Kempton, but this time over 5 furlongs, where he faced an impossible task from the widest draw.
Tonight’s race looks sure to be strongly run, and providing Jimmy Fortune can get him in a decent position early, then he could well bounce back to winning ways. He is still open to improvement, and although a number of the opposition arrive on dangerous looking marks, most find it hard to win, and the biggest danger should come from the morning favourite, Avonmore Star. He won last time at Brighton, but doesn’t have any all-weather form of note, and I would guess that connections have been forced to run here as opposed to want to run here, due to the on-going soft ground.
