Kempton Park Race 5 - Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
MOMENT OF LIGHT (2) resumed with a 1.75L victory racing from off the pace in a handicap over course and distance five weeks ago. Selected to complete a double. PARISIAN SCHOLAR (1) placed second in the previously mentioned track and trip handicap. Looks capable of playing a leading role. GREEN FALCON (5) suffered a short-head defeat running second tackling 1810m at Yarmouth in September. Rates a major threat stepping up markedly in journey making his handicap debut. STARSHIP TROOPER (4) performed with credit running 5.5L third contesting a small field 2414m novice race at Southwell three weeks ago. Holds claims switching to a handicap.

Second run back. First-up after four months 2nd in a small field at this track on February 25 over 2200m, 1.75 len behind Moment Of Light with 61kg at $5. Previously second-up 7th of 9 at Musselburgh on August 1 over 1400m, 10 len behind Blooming Legend with 60.5kg at $10. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation fourth in a small field at Newmarket (Rowley) November 1 over 1800m, 9 len behind Gaspacho carrying 61kg at $4.50. On debut second last of 9 at Newmarket (July) August 8 over 1400m, 21 len behind Al Zanati with 60.5kg at $17. Shows promise but he looks tested in this line-up.

Second run back. First-up after five months 3rd in a small field at Southwell All Weather on March 11 over 2400m, 5.5 len behind Ravenspire carrying 59kg at $6. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Pontefract on October 6 over 2000m, slow going 0.8 len behind Galilean Quality carrying 59kg at $21. Back in good shape and is a definite top-three hope.
