Chelmsford City Race 3 - Bet365 Bet Boost Handicap (Div 1)
Market could prove a useful guide. Changing stables and first-time hood could bring about improvement from the unexposed TOP STAR (5) who ran well when a close fourth over 1000m at Wolverhampton in September. Will appreciate going back up 200m. DARK SORCERESS (6) must be respected on her first outing since filling the runner-up spot over course and distance in October. Other likely dangers include handicap newcomer OLYMPIC MELODY (3) showing ability in three qualifying runs last season and fellow stable debutant WATKINS (4).

Second run back. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after three months second last of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on February 7 over 1200m, 13 len behind The Thames Lady with 61kg at $8.50. Previously second-up second last in a small field at Brighton on September 1 over 1100m, 4 len behind Acrisius carrying 58kg at $5. Solid top-three claims if anywhere near her best.
