Khafiz tops the bets at Kempton 18:52 - tips, betting and predictions

Let's kick off with Khafiz, stepping out at Kempton for the 18:52 Race 4 Try Unibet's Improved Acca Boosts Novice Stakes over a 7f stretch. This 3-year-old gelding, trained by R Varian and ridden by J Mitchell, is perched at a short live_price of 2.1. Khafiz, yet to make his mark in terms of race wins, has the backing of a trainer with an appealing 20% strike rate and a jockey who's won 31% of his last 14 races. Combining these two, they've struck gold in 22% of their collective 500 outings, suggesting they're no strangers to success. Despite his lack of track experience, this colt is already considered a prime contender. Both Of Us is another 3-year-old gelding to watch, piloted by P Cosgrave and prepared by G Boughey. Lined up with a lengthy live_price of 11, this chap hasn't yet proven himself on the racecourse, which puts punters in a bit of a pickle about backing him. Trainer G Boughey's form has been subpar, netting a modest 17% win rate over the last 30 days, and jockey P Cosgrave hasn't fared much better, making this pairing a bit of a long shot for today's race. Nutmeg, under the guidance of D Egan and trained by George Scott, enters with a value price of 4.33. While Nutmeg has engaged more frequently, including a go over distance, the results haven’t quite materialized into wins. The team presents a middling strike rate scenario with trainer Scott scoring a 16% win rate in his last 180 days and jockey Egan riding home on 10% of his mounts in his recent outings. The relatively consistent but non-dominant performance record could make Nutmeg an interesting option for those looking for more than just the favorite. While Khafiz seems the solid choice based on the bookie's odds and the strong jockey-trainer combo, horse racing always has room for surprises, and a spirited performance from Both Of Us or Nutmeg could indeed stir the pot. So, best of luck with your picks, and remember – always bet responsibly! Cheers!
