Chelmsford City Race 2 - It's Never Ordinary At Bet365 Handicap
THE THAMES BOATMAN (3) won from a similar mark over course and distance last year. Managed to succeed from a higher rating in the interim and brings excellent form. Expect a big performance. ZIGGY'S MISSILE (1) made all the running winning over course and distance twelve days ago. Raised 2kg to a mark yet to succeed from. Warrants consideration in current form. BLAZES BOYLAN (7) was only 1L behind the just mentioned last start. Won here previously and warrants respect. Fellow course and distance winner ALMATY STAR (2) is another to consider.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 5th of 9 at Newmarket (Rowley) on April 17 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Regal Envoy with 54.5kg at $17. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 15 at this track on June 1 over 1400m, 5 len behind Palmar Bay with 57.5kg at $34. Useful type but happy enough to avoid.

Second-up. First-up after five months 3rd in a small field at this track on June 19 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Ziggy's Missile carrying 57kg at $34. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on February 2 over 1000m, 11 len behind Dashing Harry with 60kg at $10. Fitter and among the chances.
