Chelmsford City Race 3

Hazy Day Nursery

Stake: $14,077

HOUDINI MISS (1) is a James Horton trained filly. Won with first-time cheekpieces over this distance at Kempton recently and could prove tough to beat off a 2.5kg higher mark. WHISKEY NEAT (3) might pose the biggest danger stepping up to 1400m among handicap company following three quiet qualifying runs. Similar comments apply to AUDERE (4) who could enjoy switching to handicaps attempting 1400m. IMSO FRIENDLY (2) rates next best.

The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Southwell All Weather on August 1 over 1400m, neck behind Monty Magoo carrying 58kg at $7.50. Shapes as a top chance again.
