Orpen'arry ran a big race yesterday, finished 2nd but couldn't quite beat a strong winner.
20.40 Kempton: Appease @ 9/2 PP - 3pts win
Couple of interesting performances from Appease still generally lightly raced 5 year old gelding. He surly wasn't seen to best effect in his most recent start at Wolverhampton when he didn't really travell all too well and also wasn't in the best position. He was forced to turn extremely wide and got bumped coming around the final bend, while also coming from off the pace, which altogether is less than ideal at Wolverhampton. He was much better on his start before, also at Wolverhampton, but the first one since September. Appease travelled strongly throughout the race, but was not in the best position when the eventual winner - who had the run of the race and got first run on the field - kicked on from the front and got a break which made the difference in the end. Appease made ground turning slightly wider than ideal for home and looked extremely strong from 2f out, motoring home. He might got a bit tired inside the final furlong, and lost narrowly out on 2nd place but still was less than a lengths beaten by the winner. He was with the Hannon yard until last year, and back then he broke his maiden tag on the second time of asking at Kempton over 1m in really nice style, producing a lovely turn of foot. So dropping down in trip to 1m won't be an issue for him tomorrow and being back at Kempton neither. More so it probably will help him. Think he's a fair bit better than his current mark and while the draw is less than ideal, he should be hard to beat tomorrow.
