TODAY’S RACING

TODAY’S SPONSORS

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

We wish you a very warm welcome for an evening of racing, followed by music and dancing to the sounds of some of the greatest disco hits in the Sports Bar. Tonight is the first of our five fixtures in October, each one on successive Thursday evenings, so come and join us for a busy month of great racing.

There are eight races this evening for your entertainment with big fields, so solving the puzzle and finding some winners will not be easy, with every race looking very competitive. The 7.15pm race, The “Timeform Sprint Series Qualifier” Handicap, is the first of a series of ten qualifying races, which culminates on Thursday 18th December in a valuable £40,000 handicap. The first six home in any of the qualifying races will be eligible to run in the final. We thank Timeform for their sponsorship of this series and look forward to its exciting conclusion at the end of December.

Have a great evening...

Neil Graham Racing Director

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

Trainer

Timeform Rating

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

Red Tsarina is penalised for winning over C&D last time. She could be in the mix once again, but WILD DAHLIA is taken to make the most of the weight concession. Nothing went right for the Haggas ﬁlly at Chester last month, but she’s better judged on her debut third over 7f at Newmarket behind the progressive Inis Mor and breeding suggests this extra yardage will suit. Iceni Queen is preferred to Urban Law of the newcomers.

Stewards Note: WILD DAHLIA: Following its run on 13/9/2025 it was reported that the horse ran too free early-on.

Having shaped with deﬁnite promise on debut at Newmarket, WILD DAHLIA wasn’t seen to anything like best effect when fourth at Chester subsequently In top hands, she’s well worth another chance to resume progress and can prove as much here Pretty Ambitious and C&D winner Red Tsarina may emerge as the chief threats.

Great British Bonus Scheme

The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British. Majority funded by the HBLB.

Plenty to consider with the market expected to prove informative. HOUDINI MISS produced another solid effort when third at Southwell 9 days ago, pulling clear with the front 2 in the process and could be the way to go back up at 7f. Mehmas Air Force, Uncertainty and Anorah Unleashed are just a trio of others worthy of a second look.

CITY SELECTIONS

MALLORCA displayed plenty of promise when a short-head second to the subsequent Group 3 winner Merchant on his debut at Wolverhampton in December With that experience under his belt, the half-brother to the multiple Group 1 winner Too Darn Hot could prove very hard to beat. That said, Freddie’s Star may give him plenty to think about, while any market support for Kartini would have to be noted.

PLAY SMARTER

MALLORCA produced a highly promising ﬁrst effort when ﬁnding only the now decidedly smart Merchant too good in a Wolverhampton novice 9 months ago and this looks an excellent opportunity on his return. Freddie’s Star shapes as though worth a crack at 7f and is next best ahead of newcomer Kartini.

CITY SELECTIONS

SUMMERTIME BLUES arrives here on the back of two victories in recent months and even a 5lb rise for the latest of those wins may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. The recent Kempton second Flag Carrier is likely to be in the mix once again off the same mark, while Bold Suitor edges out Capuchinero to be the pick of the remainder.

CITY SELECTIONS

The recent Kempton winner Early Release has to be of interest once again, although a 6lb rise will make life tougher for him here As a result, the vote goes to CLOVER TIME, who bounced back to form when second over 6f at Lingﬁeld last month and makes plenty of appeal of just 1lb higher. Sir Rodneyredblood hit the crossbar over 5f here three weeks ago and is another to consider.

The vote goes to PROFIT STREET, who makes his debut for the ultra-shrewd James Owen yard on a mark 8lb below that of his most recent success last summer It will certainly look significant if there is confidence behind this 4-y-o in the betting. Rusheen Boy is second choice ahead of Jacquelina, while Early Release has to be taken seriously on the back of his recent Kempton victory, for all that he’s unlikely to benefit from a soft lead this time.

THE BET AT YOUR BEST WITH BETFAIR SELLING HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

CITY SELECTIONS

On target at Lingﬁeld before following up at Newcastle next time, PARISH COUNCILLOR appeals as the one to beat again. James Owen’s gelding must now shoulder a 5lb penalty but that should be no barrier to further success, and a return to further will do his chances no harm either Meet Me In Meraki continues to run well in defeat and is capable of being in the mix, but Zolder, who steps up in trip having kept on into third over the mile at Kempton latest, could be a bigger threat.

PARISH COUNCILLOR is yet another example of the James Owen yard’s prowess when it comes to getting the best out of new recruits, having made it 2-2 for the Newmarket handler at Newcastle last week. The return to this trip is unlikely to be an issue and he is taken to complete the hat-trick under a penalty. Meet Me In Meraki gets the nod ahead of Moonlit Cloud for forecast purposes.

CITY SELECTIONS

SUMMER HEAT struggled on her handicap bow at Leicester but she was caught wide for much of that contest and the effort might be worth forgiving. Berthed in stall two today that shouldn’t be an issue and if able to build on earlier promise shown, she looks to have a chance from her current mark. Sansanetti made it three wins from ﬁve in handicaps when on target at Lingﬁeld latest so she merits respect raised a further 2lb, while others to note include Mandana and Suhub.

Judged on her latest close fourth at Newmarket, TUESDAYS CHILD is ready to strike and she also left the strong impression on the Rowley Mile that moving back up to this trip would be just the ticket. Mandana has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be in the thick of things once more. Sansanetti, who was successful at Lingﬁeld last time, and the lightly-raced Suhub also enter calculations.
