4:55 Kempton Tips

This E. Walker-trained 3-y-o filly has finished placed in her three races. The latest was over six furlongs at Lingfield when she didn't get the clearest run and was beaten only a head by the A. Watson-trained Numero Vingt. With a clear run today, she can go one place better under K. Shoemark.

Her 2nd on debut can be upgraded because she was only beaten by a Godolphin horse who had previously run twice, so had the benefit of racecourse experience unlike the selection. This is her first start since then. Despite the drop in distance, she should still run well, being a half sister to four winners, including two all-weather winners over sprint distances. Her dam, Badr Al Badoor, was a two-time course and distance winner.

QUEEN SANA stands out as the sectional pick for the 4:55 at Kempton Park. Fastest in the five-runner field on sectional timing at 11.93 sec/f. Finishes races significantly faster than she starts ??' a potent stayer's profile that raw speed figures alone do not capture. Expected to be held up towards the rear, holding her position throughout. Sectional verdict: WIN ??' strength 66/100. Represents a solid selection.
