Chelmsford Stakes 2024 Preview
Track: Good Weather: Fine
Impossible to go past Zardozi in this. Big return without much luck and should take a power of beating against this lot. Hinged has the class factor which should take it a long way in this field. Just Fine enjoys racing on this track while old marvel Nonconformist is always capable of taking out a race of this depth. Expect Military Mission to be up on the speed and hard to hold out.
2024 Chelmsford Stakes Runner by Runner
1. Buckaroo (9)
Has sound form for this and can overcome the wide draw. Just fair fresh but is an improver.
2. Military Mission (2)
Should land up on speed and give a kick. Can find the placings in this race.
3. Nonconformist (4)
Classy runner who has won better races than this. He is capable of bobbing up fresh and wouldn’t shock in this field.
4. Adelaide River (7)
Can give this a shake and warrants a big market watch fresh. Had excuses at the end of last prep and is good enough for these.
5. Just Fine (10)
Loves racing here and has the speed to offset the wide draw. Not the worst but short enough in the markets.
6. Athabascan (6)
Likely wants further but could find a placing in this field. Respect the market.
7. Francesco Guardi (3)
Prefer others.
8. Poptronic (8)
Can’t have.
9. Hinged (1)
Danger to the favourite. Has been mixing his form lately but maps well from barrier 1 and does find a race lacking depth. Should give this a shake.
10. Zardozi (5)
Big form of Zardozi who is all class. Superb effort fresh without much luck. This race looks very suitable, maps well, J-Mac booked and simply looks the winner in this field. Up in trip also is suitable and should be very hard to hold out against this bunch.
