Chelmsford City Race 2

For The Love Of Horses Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $18,450

SECRET HISTORY (5) provides the best form on offer and could take some stopping back from a break making her AW debut. The Ed Walker trained filly ran a high-class performer to within 2.5L when second on debut. Lost little in defeat when third in a warm-looking event at York during September and rates the obvious selection over WELCOME RETREAT (8) who was by no means disgraced when fifth in a fair Newmarket (July) maiden 203 days ago. Recent Southwell third TABBY KAT (7) could be in the mix once more with a similar effort. ADALIDA (2) found the frame on four of her eight attempts and cannot be ruled out again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at Wolverhampton on January 19 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Alasrae carrying 55kg at $6.50. The start before that 4th of 8 at Kempton Park All Weather on January 7 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Free Your Spirit with 54kg at $7. Not far away of late. Overdue for a win and is worth including in the multiples.
