Biotic Back At Kempton

Three runners at Kempton on Wednesday evening and Biotic is probably the yard's best hope of keeping up the winning run, four winners in the last seven days. Biotic was impressive when making a winning handicap debut back in March and was not disgraced when second under a six pound penalty a week later. After a short break he probably did not stay seven furlongs in a big field at Salisbury last time, although that form received a boost with the runner-up winning at Ffos Las on Monday. Returning to the polytrack at Kempton and dropping back to six furlongs should suit but the main concern is a wide draw in eight. It is a short run to the bend and he could be posted very wide, however, the favourite is in nine so that could help.

Veteran Shavansky had a cracking winter campaign, winning twice and often running with credit, striking up a good relationship with five pound claimer Shelly Birkett. Unfortunately he picked up a slight injury when fourth in the Rosebery last time out which meant he missed the £50,000 Apprentice Final at Lingfield. He returns for his summer campaign off a mark of 91, which might be on the high side but it does not look a strong contest so place money could be on the cards once again.

We have had a cracking 2014 with our 2yos so far, all five that we have run have found their way into the winners enclosure. However, four of those won on second start and most of our two-year-olds improve plenty for the initial experience and we expect the same for Nelsons Trick, especially as she has got the outside stall in eleven, which is always hard for a newcomer.
