Chelmsford City Race 5 - Best Odds On The Betfair Exchange Handicap
RUSHEEN BOY (1) failed to place in three previous starts after winning during August at this venue. Finished fourth in latest over this distance at Southwell AW. Will be thereabouts. MADRIGAL MOMENT (8) left behind two disappointing efforts to place third tackling a track and trip handicap on most recent appearance. Claiming jockey places him right into contention. GLADIADORA (5) was third contesting a handicap at Bath before failing to follow up when seventh at Wolverhampton. Can bounce back. THE SPOTLIGHT KID (4) rounds out the shortlist after a disappointing tenth at Kempton Park AW last time.

At the latest run sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 14 at Southwell All Weather on November 20 over 1600m, 7 len behind Amber Honey with 57.5kg at $8.50. The race before that 2nd of 12 at this track on October 23 over 1600m, 7 len behind Tonal with 60.5kg at $12. Rates highly on best efforts and can break back into the winners' list.
