Kempton tips: Brodie to collect under champion elect Crowley

Brodie and Crowley a potent combination at Kempton

Coral Ambassador Jim Crowley is just days away from winning his first jockey’s title and Brodie can provide him with another success in the 1m 4f maiden on this evening’s card at Kempton (19.55).

The Luca Cumani trained filly was sent off a heavily-backed favourite on debut in a 1m 2f maiden at Goodwood and although eventually beaten seven lengths into third behind Saunter offered plenty to work on.

Brodie raced prominently through and after running green and getting slightly outpaced three from home stayed on again without being unduly knocked about.

Trainer in top form

The winner is a useful sort who has scored again since and the fifth home Silhouette has also gone on to taste success.

That gives the form a solid look and Brodie is entitled to come on signifcantly for the experience and looks sure to appreciate the step up in trip.

Other pluses are that Cumani has an incredible strike rate of just under 37 per cent with his runners at the Sunbury-on-Thams venue in the past 12 months and remains in top form having saddle five winners from his last 11 runners.
