Kempton Park Race 1 - Unibet/Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race) (Div 1)
KODIAC CITY (1) Was ordinary when 6th last time at Sandown. Expecting improvement here and competing in a lower grade. Expected to be flashing home. Rising in weight. No surprise to see a win. DONEGAN (2) 2yo by Masar having first start for Andrew M Balding & England Balding. Betting is the best guide. STATUS SYMBOL (6) Debutant 2yo by Space Blues for Ecd Walker. Keep your eye on the market. PLAYING CARD (3) 2yo debutant sired by Sottsass for trainer Harry Eustace. Respect the betting.

Below par performance when 6th last time at Sandown. Expecting improvement here and will appreciate the drop in class. Can go through the gears. Rises in weight. Should go very close.

At $41.00 lost ground in the run home when 11th last time at Newmarket but having second race start. Likely to get back in the field. Slim hope.

Was $51.00 and looked outclassed when 11th last run at the track but having second career run. Likely to get back. Gets the perfect draw. Hard to see this being competitive today.
