Chelmsford City Race 7

Betfair Exchange Beacons Handicap

Stake: $18,930

CARDINAL POINT (5) is racing consistently with one win and four placed efforts past six attempts including missing by 0.75L placing third at this venue three weeks ago. Major player. MUST BELIEVE (3) left behind three disappointing efforts to win by 0.5L over 2600m contesting a Kempton Park AW handicap shedding the maiden tag on thirteenth career start. May double up. THE BAY WARRIOR (2) came out on top of a Lingfield Park AW handicap securing a 0.5L victory before finishing sixth at Southwell AW last month. Might bounce back. CLOAKS OF GOLD (4) cannot be discounted wearing a first-time tongue-tie.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. Last start came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Kempton Park All Weather September 18 over 2200m defeating Solanna with 58.5kg at $7. The start before that 7th of 11 at Southwell All Weather on July 28 over 2820m, 12 len behind Hatysa with 59.5kg at $5.50. Looks suitably placed here and should play a big role again.
