In the 14.50 at Kempton today we have a horse who likes to be up with the pace because he's the type to stay on the bridle longest and get his rivals at it heading into the final few furlongs. That horse is the 5 year old gelding Shirataki. He often finds much less off the bridle so isn't the safest option for win purposes but he regularly trades much shorter in running.
Last time out over course & distance he looked to be traveling the best turning for home and traded from a BSP of 11.0 down to 2.0. He then unfortunately emptied out & finished well down the field in 6th. That day it is important to not that he was drawn very wide in stall 12. This meant he was forced to race wide at all points & it was very hard to be on the speed from that draw, he was always doing too much to maintain his position. Connections have persevered keeping him at 1m4f suggesting they believe that this is is natural trip.
Today Shirataki is much better drawn in stall 2 so he should be able to take up his customary front running position with much less effort, the longer he stays on the bridle the better & he may just be able to last home, if he is still cruising at the 2f pole then the in running players should react & shorten his price up to give us a trade.
Shirataki can be baked now for 2 points at 9.0 at the books (stan james) and at 9.8 on Betfair. If you want 30% profit then lay off 2.6 points at 6.6 or if you want 50% profit then lay off 3.05 points at 5.7.
Best of luck.
