Evening Racing Thursday 21st April 2022

Official Programme £3.00

Welcome

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse for one of our regular Thursday evening fixtures, during which we have 7 fascinating races for you and I am sure, as ever, some highly competitive racing. Many people continue to ask about our turf course, which I am delighted to report is making excellent progress. The warm, rather damp summer that we had last year allowed it to achieve much better root growth that we would have expected and now we are working hard to ensure that we continue that growth throughout this year. We are planning to have some informal trials on the course later this spring before preparing for the first races on the grass this autumn. When we stage our first races on the grass, you will be able to witness the only turf racing under lights in Great Britain. We are incredibly excited to be able to offer you this unique experience and we are looking forward to this day, in the now not-too-distant future, as the dawn of a new era for Chelmsford City Racecourse. We will be in a position to stage top-class racing on both an all-weather surface, as well as on grass, and under lights! To have the capacity to present racing on both surfaces during one race meeting adds a whole new dimension, not only to our racing, but to racing in Great Britain as a whole and we consider that to be a compelling challenge, leaving CCR at the forefront of British racing. Neil Graham Racing Director For more information about any of these events please visit www.chelmsfordcityracecourse.com or call the office on 01245 360300.

Timeform Rating

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

CITY SELECTIONS A full-brother to the useful Laneqash and a good third in a Sandown maiden last summer, it’s hard to oppose OPEN MIND in this contest. Since his last outing at Newcastle in June 2021, where the three-year-old hung right, he’s been gelded in an attempt to help him settle. This, combined with the application of cheekpieces, makes him a worthy contender. Zero Carbon has an appealing pedigree and is one to watch, with Dashing Rat looking to improve on his all-weather debut. OPEN MIND

PLAY SMARTER

KITAAB shaped well for Marcus Tregoning when third at Kempton and is fancied to build on that and go in at the ﬁrst time of asking for his new handler. Open Mind has the form to play a major role if back on song now cheekpieces have been added. Newcomer Zero Carbon also needs considering for Richard Hughes in an open maiden.

CITY SELECTIONS UNDER THE TWILIGHT kept on to win well on her last outing over this course and distance in October. She has since been beaten at Kempton, but the going was perhaps slower than she would have liked and a return to this venue could see her bounce back. Light Up Our Stars stayed on to win by three-quarters of a length on her last outing over this course and distance and although he is 4lb higher in the handicap today, he scored in very comfortable fashion there and looks the biggest threat to the selection. Brunel Charm rates best of the rest. UNDER THE TWILIGHT

PLAY SMARTER

BRUNEL CHARM made a really positive return to action when second at Lingﬁeld 3 weeks ago and he holds sound claims of going one better. Light Up Our Stars was impressive over C&D recently and is a danger, along with handicap-debutante Under The Twilight.

CITY SELECTIONS STATE SECRETARY tends to perform well after a break so will be one to watch on his debut for Stuart Williams. The four-year-old should appreciate a drop back in trip and a 6lb higher mark than when scoring with ease at Wolverhampton in November doesn’t look insurmountable if he can recapture that form. Dubai Hope has been consistent but couldn’t shake off Shoot To Kill after a 10lb rise on her last outing, and he loses Christian Howarth’s 7lb claim in this (now ridden by Hayley Turner). Asad completes the shortlist following a ﬁve-month break. STATE SECRETARY

CITY SELECTIONS Michael Appleby sends three to post in this feature race, with Whittle Le Woods, Saatty, and Nigel Nott, and they all hold solid claims. However, they may find themselves chasing the tail of PUERTO DE VEGA. Stuart Williams’ charge was an impressive winner at Kempton on his latest outing, when winning by three lengths. The gelding remains unexposed on an artificial surface, after five starts, and an 8lb rise may not be enough to stop him. Prontissimo and Secret Moment shouldn’t be far away either. PUERTO DE VEGA

PLAY SMARTER

PRONTISSIMO found a Group 3 at Ascot too much on his ﬁnal start but he looked a good deal ahead of his mark when winning off 6lb lower there the time before and remains of interest back in a handicap. The progressive Puerto de Vega won in good style at Kempton last month and is the obvious threat, while Secret Moment took a step forward when scoring at Wolverhampton in October so warrants respect on return.

CITY SELECTIONS BAILEYS DERBYDAY returned from a 306-day break to ﬁnish third at this venue earlier this month, where he cruised into contention before fading in the latter stages. That was his ﬁrst run following a gelding operation, so more improvement could be forthcoming, and he can shed the maiden tag at the ninth time of asking. C’mon Kenny and Beat The Breeze should provide a stern challenge, while Genesius is interesting back down to his last winning mark. BAILEYS DERBYDAY

PLAY SMARTER

BAILEYS DERBYDAY went well for a long way on his reappearance here 2 weeks ago until a lack of a recent run told, and he remains the type to win races this year. C’mon Kenny made an encouraging return himself at Wolverhampton and looks a big danger with the prospect of more to come now upped in trip.

CITY SELECTIONS ROGUE FORCE got back to winning ways when stepped up to this trip at Kempton last time, despite pulling too hard in the early stages, and he could be capable of following up off 2lb higher. Newton Jack is up 3lb for his success at Windsor earlier this month but his form on the all-weather is nowhere near his turf form so far, while Rhubarb Bikini was only reeled in close home over this track and trip latest so could be a danger to all in this.
