Chelmsford City Racecard - Thursday 5th October

Evening Racing

Thursday 5th October 2023

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

As we settle into autumn, our schedule of, mainly, Thursday evening floodlit fixtures becomes the nucleus of our racing calendar. The flat turf season has about another month to go and before it recommences towards the end of next March, flat racing will be staged solely on the all-weather. Racing in the evenings under our floodlights has an unique atmosphere and, we feel, lends the racecourse a certain intimacy and ambience that we look forward to every year.

The other advantage of this time of year is that we are allocated more races, meaning that we have a nine-race card for you tonight. Amongst, what looks a highly competitive card, there is at 6.30pm, The Transparent Recruitment Solutions Selling Handicap, after which, in the winners’ enclosure, the winner will be put up for sale. These auctions are quite a spectacle and it is worth a visit to the enclosure to watch proceedings…but keep your hands in your pockets!

I hope you have an enjoyable evening.

Neil Graham Racing Director

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

PUELLA LAW displayed plenty of promise when a close second on her racecourse debut at Beverley in August and John Quinn’s filly could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Just Rita hit the crossbar over a mile here a couple of weeks ago and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Asteverdi and Rogue State should not be discounted.

PLAY SMARTER

ZARIELA showed much improved form upped to this trip on nursery debut when second at Yarmouth and sets the standard back in a maiden. Puella Law showed plenty of ability in the end having been very green when second at Beverley on debut so rates the main threat ahead of penalised winner Asteverdi

THE EBF FILLIES’ RESTRICTED NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 5) (for horses in Bands C and D) (DIV II) (GBB RACE)

CITY SELECTIONS

MACHIAVELLIAN LADY was far from disgraced when filling third place on her debut in a valuable event over 7f at Newbury a couple of weeks ago. That form suggests that the daughter of Too Darn Hot could get off the mark at the second attempt. However, Sovereign Queen should not be discounted following her second at Leicester last time, while Squeaker and Dancingwithmyself are the pick of the remainder

HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

CITY SELECTIONS

MONAADHIL was a winner over C&D two starts ago. Sent off favourite here a week later, Ruth Carr’s charge kept on well for fifth having settled too far off the pace. His current mark would appear to be well within range and, given a more prominent ride, he could regain the winning thread. Blue Flame showed more upon the fitting of first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Kempton and must enter calculations along with Thomas Equinas.

CITY SELECTIONS

LOST IN TIME has been running to a consistent level on the turf recently and, though he remains winless on the all-weather, the son of Dubawi has often gone well in defeat. If he can negotiate a relatively wide draw breaking from stall eight, then Dean Ivory’s charge might be able to cash in against some out-of-form rivals. The unexposed Hildegard is a half-sister to C&D winner Cavalluccio and might have more to offer on this surface. Eton College is also noted.

CITY SELECTIONS

Lethal Touch arrives in fine fettle having notched up a brace of victories at Epsom recently, but a chance is taken on MOOGIE. James Fanshawe’s filly has struggled on both of her handicap starts, but she’s been given a short break since her latest Newmarket effort. Eased 4lb in the ratings for that run, the daughter of Mastercraftsman is bred to be far better than her current mark and might improve for the return to an artificial surface. Mountain Flower heads the remainder

CITY SELECTIONS

Bernard Spierpoint has won four races on the all-weather and could go well here, though he would need a career best off his current mark and may have to settle for a place. Agostino remains a maiden after 14 races but has come home second in his last two and will be looking to go one better, but PHOENIX GLOW is still preferred. Second to Brian The Snail at Bath last month, he will be attacking fast and late and gets on well with jockey George Bass.

LUNAR SHADOW

DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2022: SIR JOSEPH SWAN 4 8 6 David Egan 17-2 (Amanda Perrett) 11 ran Hood worn by No. 1. Blinkers worn by No. 4. Visor worn by No. 2.

Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Lunar Shadow (GB), 9-2 Haven Lady (IRE), 11-2 Spring Glow (GB), 6-1 Golden Keeper (GB), 15-2 Smart Champion (GB), 9-1 Spit Spot (GB), 20-1 Prince Abu (IRE) PLAY

A cosy winner on her penultimate start, LUNAR SHADOW again ran well over hurdles 4 weeks ago. Appealing as still being on a workable mark in this sphere, she can make a bold bid, with Haven Lady and Golden Keeper heading up the dangers. Spring Glow needs to conclusively prove her stamina for the trip but is also lurking on a handy mark.

CITY SELECTIONS

In a wide-open contest it may pay to side with TRADESMAN, an impressive winner here over shorter in August but seemingly out of sorts when sixth at Wolverhampton the following month. He can hopefully bounce back to form here after a month off. Socially Shady drops in class and won a similar race off this mark at Lingfield last November, while Team Endeavour, a solid runner-up last time out, is another to take seriously
