5.30 Windsor: Class 5 Handicap, 5f

Kiss And Run has been performing with plenty of credit in better races than this one today over the last weeks. She drops down to 0-68 and could have too much speed and class in this field.

She was perhaps slightly disappointing on the bare form last time at Lingfield, but she got quite a big bump from two rivals as soon as the gates opened, before she moved forward and set hot fractions. She didn’t get home in those circumstances over 6 furlongs, plain and simple.

The drop to 5 furlongs will surely suit. She really impressed at Goodwood two runs back as she pushed pace going wide as part of a duo. She fought hard, showed great guts and attitude in a hot 0-80 Handicap to go down only by a head.

That was a career-best speed rating and on the basis of that she is well-handicapped today in this class. She has improved run by run this year and there’s perhaps a bit more to come.

Only worry for me is the fast ground. Her best form comes with some juice in the ground.

10pts win – Kiss And Run @ 6/1
