Cambridge Race 4 - JOIN US AT BFT GYM HANDICAP TROT
CHESINOV (8) produced a strong effort at his latest appearance, beating several of these rivals to get home over 2200m at this venue. Should be at peak fitness fourth up so could strike again. SHARP IMAGE (4) should strip fitter second-up and is a major player following a respectable third when resuming here last week. Likely to progress off that. BROTHER JOHNSON (7) added to his consistent form when fourth to CHESINOV last start at this circuit. That continued a string of top-four results. Can make an impact again. GRACE N ELEGANCE (6) should find this easier than her last attempt and placed in three of her previous four starts so deserves respect.
