20.15 Kempton: My Mo @ 4/1 Bet365 - 3pts win
Drops down to 6f after being piped on the line eight days ago. The trip wasn't an issue that day and won't be tomorrow. Whether six or seven furlongs, I think it doesn't make too much of a difference for this 2yo colt. He was pretty impressive in this latest run, incidentally his handicap debut. He didn't show anything in three maiden starts and was sent off a 50/1 no hoper. He had to overcome the widest draw in a 12 runner field and he did that nicely in fact. Obviously you need to use plenty of horse to make it from such a wide draw to the front before the bend in a big field, yet My Mo was travelling extremely well and kicked on from 2f out. He was put under pressure left and right but impressively pulled out more and more. Close to the line the eventual winner came on the wide outside to stay on and get the head in front on the line. I suspect that My Mo didn't see the horse coming and looked actually like doing enough to keep his head in front of the horses around him.
He gets a massive chance to make amends, as he can race off the same mark again and he has a muck kinder draw this time. There are couple of unexposed horses in the field and that is always a worry, but it is proven fact for me that My Mo is a good deal better than a rating of 51. It also has to be noted that from a pedigree point of view he has it all going to be a decent 2yo sprinter over 6-7f.

We had a massive night at Kempton on Wednesday! Our very first eye-catcher from the newly introduced column won nicely. If you follow our blog, you got 5/2 last night, which looked big eventually, as First Rebellion went off the 6/4 favourite. He repaid all the faith with a very nice victory from the front. As we expected, he jumped well from his good draw, was in front, which is a big advantage over the 5f trip at Kempton, and held off his main rival. The night became even better when Daaree got up late to win the feature on the night. Our deep analyzes of that particular contest, a very intriguing one we mentioned beforehand, yielded in a profit as it turned out that Daaree had indeed too much in hand for his rivals. He didn't look an easy ride and was slightly outpaced approaching the home straight, but once hitting top gear, he always looked certain to get up on the line - what he did in the end.
