Kempton Park Race 1 - Unibet's New Var Goal Guarantee Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
IMPERIAL BALLET (1) represents a leading trainer and the filly made a winning debut last year scoring by 3.5L attempting a 1200m maiden at Newbury before a 1400m novice fifth at Southwell AW on comeback run three weeks ago. Open to plenty of progress. Leading player. DIVINE SYMMETRY (6) showed promise on debut when a neck second contesting a maiden over this journey at Newcastle AW five weeks ago. The third that day has won since boosting form. Big claims. AL MANDOOS (4) represents Godolphin and profiles well on paper being a three-year-old son of Cracksman from Wadi. Interesting newcomer. VIRTUE KING (8) rates next best down in distance.

Second-up. Promising on debut scored a big 3.5 len win at Newbury on August 28 2025 over 1200m defeating Khafar with 58kg at $6. Returned from break 5th of 11 at Southwell All Weather on October 3 over 1400m, 5 len behind Cloud Forest carrying 60.5kg at $3. Should be right in the finish.

Third-up today. First-up ran last of 11 at this track on September 9 over 1600m, 11 len behind Mercantile with 62.5kg at $201. Last start 8th of 11 at Southwell All Weather on October 3 over 1400m, 8 len behind Cloud Forest with 60.5kg at $301. One to avoid.

At debut, 2nd in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on September 19 over 1400m, neck behind Weffaag carrying 60.5kg at $15. Better for that outing and looks set to break the maiden status.

Third race start. First start 11th of 13 at this track on August 5 over 1600m, 25 len behind Najidi Storm carrying 59kg at $41. Went for a break before returning tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at this track on October 9 over 1600m, 10 len behind Thornthwaite with 59kg at $29. Will benefit from that run and is one of the chances.

Raced two times to date. At debut, ran last in a small field at Newmarket (July) on July 17 over 1600m, 21 len behind Livemore with 56.5kg at $5.50. Second-up ran second last of 7 at Lingfield All Weather on August 25 over 2000m, 10 len behind Floating Market with 57kg at $34. Has plenty of upside and can play a feature role.
