Chelmsford City Race 7 - Hold Your Horses John Bore Classic Handicap
SILVER STATE (4) Looked good when 3rd last time at Southwell and facing weaker opposition. In fine form since returning from a spell and has drawn to do little work. Has to be included. TOASTMASTER (3) Close up last time at Kempton and taking on a lower class of opponents. Shows good early pace. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Winning hope. SUDBURY HILL (1) Nice run when 3rd last run at Lingfield and stepping down to a lower level. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation and has a good draw. Each way value for this race. JUST A GAMBLER (6) Did well when 3rd last run at Kempton and lining up against easier rivals. Has very good closing speed. Been in the placegetters each attempt this campaign. Looks value and a good place bet.

Came in 3rd last run at Lingfield and competing in a lower grade. Always seems to find the line well. Has not missed the money this preparation in 2 attempts. Should go close.

First run back from a break. Ran out of steam towards the end when 2nd last time at Kempton and taking on easier opposition. Solid career start. Watch the betting.

First up from a break of 30 weeks. Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd beaten by more than 20L last start at Goodwood and putting a tidy record together. Not without a chance.

Came in 3rd last start at Dundalk and facing a weaker grade. William T Buick is a plus and will appreciate the drop in weight. Prefer a race with softer competition.

First up from a 28 week break. Odds of $5.00 and ran 4th last run at Beverley but competing in a less challenging grade. Looks too tough.
