Chelmsford City Race 7 - Injured Jockeys Fund Handicap
ENGROSS (2) shaped with promise on juvenile starts and moves into handicaps. Step up in distance promises to suit on pedigree. Trainer is in decent order. Probable chance to improve. ZIPWIRE (1) accounted for ANEIRIN'S SWORD (5) and BERKSHIRE SCHMOKIN (3) last time when landing a similar event at Wolverhampton (1900m) by 0.5L. Holds less potential after twelve starts though is entitled to go close. PANTILE'S GIFT (4) came within a head of victory on third attempt (1600m). Disappointed as favourite on final outing in October and might do better here. PORT DARWIN (6) may enjoy tackling further now with a run under his belt. Couldn't rule out.

Second run back. First-up after two months won by 0.5 len at Wolverhampton March 10 over 1900m defeating Aneirin's Sword with 60kg at $10. Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Bath on August 1 over 1100m, 7 len behind Pilu with 58kg at $26. Likely to come on from that run.

Form hard to fault. Most recently in a small field at Wolverhampton on March 10 over 1900m, 2.5 len behind Zipwire carrying 60.5kg at $2.60. The run before that favourite; won by 1.0 len at Wolverhampton February 23 over 1900m defeating Montu with 61kg at $6. Hard to beat on his best form.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd in a small field at Wolverhampton on March 10 over 1900m, 0.5 len behind Zipwire with 59kg at $6.50. The race before that won by a head at Wolverhampton February 27 over 1700m defeating Sup Of Red carrying 60.5kg at $2.50. Promising effort last time out. One of the better chances.
