Chelmsford City Race 3 - Cuppa For Dementia 17Th March Handicap
CRESSIDA WILDES (1) left behind five disappointing efforts to win by 0.75L last time out attempting a 1000m Wolverhampton handicap ten days ago. Holds winning course and distance form. Could overcome a penalty. THECOFFEEPODDOTCO (4) is racing consistently with four placed efforts and two wins past six starts including a 1L victory in a Lingfield Park AW handicap twelve days ago. Dangerous. ARKLOW LAD (2) provides initial appearance for a new trainer on first start this year. Last seen finishing sixth at Navan in October. Might win first-up. GENERAL ASSEMBLY (5) cannot be discounted having won tackling track and trip.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation sixth of 11 at Navan October 22 over 1005m, soft track; 8 len behind Dark Ace carrying 62.5kg at $5. On debut eighth of 14 at Galway July 29 over 1408m, 11 len behind Collecting Coin with 61kg at $67. Should be right in the mix.

Third-up today. Not raced for 46 days. Resuming favourite; settled well back; won by 1.0 len at this track December 18 over 1000m defeating Thecoffeepoddotco with 60.5kg at $5. Second run from a spell sat on the pace before fading second last of 10 at this track on January 11 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Waistcoat carrying 57.5kg at $4.30. Unlikely to find a decent result.

The run before that 3rd of 9 at Wolverhampton on February 9 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Alondra carrying 61kg at $5. Hard to beat in this type of form.
