Kempton (AW) 8:30 Result

Bintaryana's form figures 122101 are outstanding for a 3yo - two wins and three seconds from six starts, with a recent win last time out just 14 days ago showing she's in top form and unexposed at the trip. Oisin Murphy taking the ride is a strong booking and signals stable confidence. Her OR of 83 looks workable against this field, and a Showcasing filly bred for speed should be fully suited to 6f on the AW. Draw 2 is workable at Kempton. Art Lover (OR85, top-rated) has the profile of the market leader but his form figures 187-24 show more inconsistency and a step up in class/trip questions remain with tongue-tie applied - suggests a quirky sort. Bintaryana's rock-solid consistency (only one finish outside the first two in her last four starts) and drop back to a fair mark make her the stronger betting proposition, particularly if she is available at a bigger price than the raw favourite due to Art Lover's higher rating drawing market attention. The rest of the field (Augustus Gloop, Pints In Peace, Bright Summer, Goldwork) are all held on form and ratings, with inconsistent recent efforts (467484, 410765, 418606, 503736) suggesting they are makeweights in this compact 6-runner heat. This looks a match between the top two on ratings, and I prefer the filly in form with the big-name jockey booking over the potentially fragile favourite.
