Chelmsford City Race 7 - Tigerbet.co.uk Money Back Specials Handicap (Div 2)

SHAFDAR (1) proved an impressive winner over course and distance last month. That was a maiden victory and can unlock further improvement. Anticipated to be thereabouts. OCEANS FIVE (4) is lightly raced for a four year old. Looks to have ability and potential making handicap debut after a two month break. TONAL (6) has done well for connections this winter gaining a number of wins. Not disgraced at Wolverhampton forty one days ago and warrants thought up in trip. Serious contender. STUDIOUS (5) has been running consistently since winning earlier in the winter at Newcastle. Worth giving close consideration.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 59 day letup. First-up raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at this track on December 11 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Champagne Powder carrying 60.5kg at $5. Second run from a spell gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 8 at Wolverhampton on January 12 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind All Moonshine with 59.5kg at $3.50. Capable of a better showing. The maiden win looks imminent.

Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run came from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Southwell All Weather on January 30 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Frostmagic carrying 58.5kg at $2.10. The race before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Wolverhampton January 2 over 1700m defeating Threatening with 57kg at $4. Big chance to bounce straight back.
