Wednesday Racing Tips – Dan James Racing
LA CADALORA – Kempton
La Cadalora brings consistency and experience to this maiden contest, making her stand out in a small field. Her recent form figures (25-333) show she has been knocking on the door repeatedly, with several placed efforts that suggest her turn for victory is close. Unlike some rivals still learning their trade, she has already proven she can handle competitive race scenarios.
The Kempton surface should suit, and stepping up in trip provides a fresh opportunity for further improvement. Fillies at this stage of their careers often show sudden progression, and La Cadalora’s profile fits that pattern perfectly. With conditions set fair and no sign of major ground issues, she has every chance to make her proven consistency count. Against a handful of rivals, her blend of race craft, experience, and stamina potential gives her a decisive edge to finally get her head in front.
JACKSON STREET – Kempton
Jackson Street lines up in a Class 6-mile handicap, and this looks an ideal opportunity to strike. He has been contesting races at a similar level, often showing enough ability to suggest he can win when circumstances align. This race brings together largely exposed types, but Jackson Street has hinted at untapped potential, particularly when ridden with patience. A mile around Kempton suits horses with a strong late kick, and Jackson Street has the tactical speed to take advantage of that.
His current mark looks workable, suggesting the handicapper has given him a chance, while the standard surface provides a consistent platform for performance. The draw and pace scenario could play into his hands, especially if leaders go off too fast. With stamina assured at this trip and a touch of class against modest opposition, Jackson Street has all the tools to make a winning move.
ROCK OF DESTINY – Kempton
The 16:55 at Kempton Park sees a competitive field of juvenile's line up over six furlongs. Among them, Rock Of Destiny shapes as one with plenty to recommend. A colt with a striking pedigree, he combines the speed influence of his sire with a dam line proven over middle distances, suggesting both pace and scope for progression. His debut offered encouragement, travelling smoothly before greenness told late on, and that experience should sharpen him considerably.
Kempton’s Polytrack surface often rewards those who settle early and finish strongly, a profile that suits Rock Of Destiny’s style. Drawn to get a clear passage, he should find the race run to suit, with several front-runners likely to ensure an honest pace. With natural improvement expected and conditions in his favour, Rock Of Destiny looks poised to deliver a much stronger performance this time.
