Kempton Tips: Honiara

Honiara returned from a 5 month break to finish third at Lingfield 16 days ago, he should come on for the run and that makes him a major player in the 7.45 Kempton.

From a poor draw, he was held-up in rear and then forced to make his challenge very wide around the final bend. Considering the amount of extra distance he travelled, plus the fact he might have needed the run, he did really well to finish 0.75 lengths behind the winner.

Considering all these issues it was remarkable he ran the fastest closing sectional and clocked a speed rating of 88. He is better drawn this evening and should improve for the step up in trip, having won at a mile on the Polytrack at Chantilly in May.
