Kempton Park Race 2 - Unibet Supporting Safer Gambling Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
This looks a perfect opportunity for KAINDY (3) to lose his maiden status after two placings from three outings to date following a 2L second over 1400m at Newcastle AW last November before returning with a promising 2.75L third in a 1600m novice race here three weeks ago. This looks easier. Top chance. SEA BRAVE (7) shaped well on debut last December producing a 1L runner-up effort contesting a 1600m novice contest at Chelmsford City AW where the winner has followed up among Listed company this year. Makes plenty of appeal. TALKING BEAR (8) is appearing for the first time and is a gelding by Kodi Bear. Could place. PALLISER (5) rates next best.

He is resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation second last of 15 at Newbury May 15 over 1400m, 11 len behind Extremely Zain with 59kg at $81. On debut ran last of 8 at Newmarket (Rowley) April 14 over 1400m, 19 len behind Cerro Blanco with 58kg at $13. Doesn't bring the right form to the table.

First-starter by Kodi Bear out of Straight Talking (GNS 22,000 (Tattersalls 2024 October Yearling Sale Book 3) purchase). Hard to recommend without a market push.
