Kempton Park Race 4 - Sporting Times/Sri Lanka Handicap
LADY DORA MAE (1) showed a great attitude gaining a 0.75L win. Demonstrated plenty of pace that day and drop in trip could benefit. May continue progressing and is the one to beat. STAY SALTY (2) looked good getting up for 0.5L triumph at Chelmsford on just the second career start. Open to any amount of improvement and is easy to fancy. DANCE FANTASY (4) takes on handicaps for the first time holding potential in this sphere. Certainly bred to be better than the opening mark and is very much of interest. YACHTSMAN (3) adopts a first time tongue tie. Beaten 2.25L third at Wolverhampton in latest and is of interest. Shortlist.
