DAILY RACING PREVIEW BY ANDY HOLDING
MONDAY OCTOBER 13
7.10 KEMPTON
Sportinsilvermine has a good all-weather record, and he was unlucky to bump into the progressive three-year-old, Gran Descans, at Newcastle last time out but the one thing he lacks on his cv is form over today’s course and for that reason, he is passed over in favour of CRYSTAL MARINER (best price 9-2).
Unlike his main market rival, Jamie Osbourne’s inmate is proven around today’s C&D courtesy of a resounding success here last month and with the speed figure speaking favourably of his performance, there is good reason to feel upbeat about his return visit.
Moreover, the sixth home, Wine Dark Sea, went on to highlight the authenticity of the form in the Old Rowley Cup at Newmarket last week and, as a result, the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal at the morning odds.
CRYSTAL MARINER – 1-point each-way@9-2
