Today's Racing Tips: Two fancies at Chelmsford

I have enjoyed plenty of winners at Chelmsford this year and have picked out two more bets for this evening’s action at the Essex track.

Chelmsford Tips

16:50 – 5f tote Placepot Your First Bet Nursery Handicap (Class 6)

Trainer Robert Cowell has a good reputation with sprinters and can land another winner courtesy of FIJI GOLD (1 point win bet at 3/1). A low draw is a big advantage over the minimum trip at Chelmsford with the first bend coming soon after the start. Top jockey Luke Morris should therefore be able to get a good position on board this prominent racer and could be hard to peg back. Cheekpieces seemed to bring about some improvement when this filly finished a close third at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and that headgear is retained today. She has been dropped 1lb by the handicapper and look

19:30 – 1m Support The Injured Jockeys Fund Handicap (Div I) (Class 6)

This low grade handicap looks a good opportunity for BOY GEORGE (NAP - 1 point win bet at 4/1) to finally get off the mark at the 29th attempt. Having found just one horse too good in each of his last three starts, Callum Shepherd’s mount deserves to get his head in front and will have every chance from stall four. Beaten by a short head at Wolverhampton in July, he went down by a neck at Lingfield in August before being a beaten favourite back at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. He goes off the same handicap mark today and is up against a host of out of form / exposed rivals.
