Chelmsford City Race 1 - Ebf Restricted Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
RIVER SPEY (1) finished third last time over 1200m at Thirsk making it two minor placings from five career starts. Placed twice from four attempts over the distance and expected to measure up. ONE AND GONE (2) was popular when running below expectations finishing fifth beaten 7L at Newbury over 1200m after being prominent at the bend. Could prove tough to beat. MELODICAL (6) raced for just the second time in latest when 5L third over 1200m at Wolverhampton. Might break through. QUEEN KASSI (7) produced a moderate effort debuting 7L eighth at Wolverhampton last start over 1400. Warrants respect.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 33-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 16 at Thirsk on September 6 over 1200m, 2 len behind Simplify carrying 59kg at $2.10. The run before that 4th of 19 at York on August 20 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Ruby's Angel carrying 56kg at $7.50. One of the main hopes.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Ripon on August 25 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Chale Chalo carrying 60.5kg at $11. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at Newbury on September 19 over 1200m, 7 len behind Black Star Boy with 60.5kg at $3.80. Great chance to get off the mark this time.

Third race start. First start ran last in a small field at Windsor on June 28 over 1200m, 49 len behind Amorim carrying 60.5kg at $67. Went for a spell before returning raced on the pace before fading 9th of 11 at this track on September 18 over 1400m, 13 len behind Acclaimed Freedom with 58kg at $201. Unlikely to be competitive.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 at this track on September 18 over 1400m, 7 len behind Acclaimed Freedom with 57kg at $101. Others look better prospects.

At debut, 8th of 12 at Wolverhampton on September 20 over 1400m, 7 len behind Deluded carrying 58kg at $8.50. Can improve on first run and shouldn't be far away.
