Monday the 8th of April...

14.50 Kempton: Aegaeus @ 7/4 Ladbrokes - 7pts win

This 77 rated gelding came to my attention for the first time last November in a Handicap at Lingfield when he was pretty unlucky not to win the race, finishing in a way suggesting he could be much better than his mark and actual form. He won after that a maiden, a form that works out very well and he was put away for the rest of the winter. There are some positive vibes about him from the yard and I think he can turn into a really nice handicapper this year, exploring his lenient looking mark as I feel he has a good deal in hand. 



16.50 Kempton: Midnight Feast @ 7/1 Ladbrokes - 2pts win

It was a huge performance by Midnight Feast here at Kempton in a better race lto when he was wearing blinkers for the first time. He got bumped right after the start yet secured a very prominent position early on, racing in third position close to a fast pace. They really went a decent gallop which is confirmed by the eventual winning time which was 0,31s faster than the standard. So it wasn't a surprise to see the front pair dropping away, but Midnight Feast battled on really hard to finish a decent 3rd eventually. This form works out quite well, so this return to form looks serious and as he slipped down a long way in the mark he looks now to be really competitive to win finally another race. He has the benefit of a good draw tomorrow and drops down in class, so every chance for a big performance.
