Kempton Park Race 4 - Virgin Bet Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
SHUSHI (9) Fresh after a 29 week break. Ran 4th last time at Ascot. Giving another chance here and facing a rise in trip. Displays good tactical speed. Will take some beating today. GALAXY STAR (2) First up after 10 weeks and dashed home to win first up last preparation at Stratford. Goes down in class. Solid career start. Back to a shorter trip. Hard to dismiss. SEMPER FEMINA (7) 3yo runner on debut by Lucky Vega for trainer Richard Hannon Jr and will appreciate a good stall. Watch the market. SEMELE (3) Resumes after a spell. Weakened under pressure when 10th last run at Ludlow but competing in a less challenging grade. Should jump out and bowl along. Coming back in trip. Market may be the ultimate guide for this runner.

Back from a break. Jumped at $126.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last run at Wolverhampton but having second career run. Hard to see it being good enough.

First up after 10 weeks and romped home to win first up last preparation at Stratford. Will find this grade easier. Good career start. Coming back in distance. Major chance.

Fresh after a break. Started at $29.00 and struggled with the pace when 10th last run at Ludlow but will appreciate the drop in grade. Should come to hand quickly. Will be tested.

Expected to settle towards the rear. Has a positive draw. Down in trip. Dropping weight. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Back after spell of 29 weeks. Started at $51.00 and was nothing special when 11th last run at Ascot but was a debutant last start. Going up in distance. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Richard Hannon Jr trained 3yo by Lucky Vega having first race start and gets the perfect draw. Keep your eye on the market.

Back from a break. Was $34.00 and didn't threaten when 12th last start at this venue but was on debut last time. Likely to get back. Facing an increased distance. This won't be easy.
