CUBAN WILL BE HAVANA SUCCESSFUL OUTING!
NEMARKET’S Cambridgeshire meeting begins today and in the British Stallion Studs EBF Premier Fillies’ Handicap, the Dave Evans-trained CUBAN BREEZE (2.25) looks overpriced to me.
I thought she and Azure Blue were the pair to concentrate on in conditions and while I have plenty of respect for Michael
Dods’s Azure Blue, she’s a 3/1 shot while Cuban Breeze has been in fine form all season, winning five from 15 in handicaps and is tactically versatile, so won’t mind how this race pans out.
At Chelmsford, I’m taking a chance on course specialist ENGRAVE (7.45 - Nap) in the chelmsfordcityracecourse.com Handicap despite the fact she ran a disappointing race over C&D last time.

She can throw in the odd poor run but on the plus side, two of her course wins have come on the back of similar efforts, and she’s likely to be back on song with regular rider Dylan Hogan (right) taking over from Frederick Larson, who was having his first ride on her the last day.
Engrave is well drawn either to lead, or to track Apache Grey, who set a strong gallop here last time. Now Southwell and Antony Brittain is building towards getting going for his usual autumn/winter all-weather to surge and INEXPLICABLE (5.25) looks ready to win after going close at Newcastle on Tuesday. Prominent throughout, he held every chance there, in front until the final few strides. This is a quick turnaround but on the only other occasion he’s been turned around after 48 hours he was a winner.
