Chelmsford City Race 2 - Bet At Your Best With Betfair Handicap

BUXTED REEL (1) maintains a consistent profile. Provided a solid effort at Southwell All Weather beaten a nose second over 2800m twelve days ago. Finds a suitable assignment and is of obvious interest. ROLLING LUCK (6) is a ten race maiden. Receives weight from his rivals and drawn to strike from stall one under Hollie Doyle rates a notable player. CARDINAL POINT (5) looks to be going in the right direction. Made the frame past three starts including when well supported last time at Kempton Park All Weather. Holds plenty of appeal. The unexposed ROGUE EMPIRE (3) warrants a glance in the betting after finishing third at Kempton Park in September

Racing well recently. Returns from a 36-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 10 at Lingfield All Weather on September 3 over 2400m, 6 len behind Cardinal Point carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Lingfield on August 12 over 2300m, 2.5 len behind Manila Mist carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. Tough to beat if near his best.
