Chester Race 5 - Kore Systems Hcp
ALFA DUPLICATE (4) aims to turn two placings into a win after running third in a course and distance handicap before missing by a nose when second in a 1200m handicap at Doncaster. Ideally positioned to win. U S S CHARLESTON (1) finished second in a handicap at Glorious Goodwood attempting the journey. Proved unable to follow up when fourth at Brighton last time. Might bounce back. HANNEY GIRL (5) only placed once past six attempts. Last seen finishing fourth in a handicap at Beverley ten days ago and quickly turned out could improve. HENRYTHENATE (3) holds minor claims on the back of six below par performances.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran last in a small field at Musselburgh on August 7 over 1000m, 9 len behind Tiva with 61kg at $21. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at Thirsk on May 31 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Dazzling Haze carrying 60kg at $6. Will take a lot from that run and is in the mix.
