Chilcott team ready to fire at Alexandra Park tonight

Cambridge trainer Nicky Chilcott has four strong chances at Alexandra Park tonight with comeback trotter The Crown Jewels a standout in the last and first-starter Scherger Chief rated a top-three hope in the fourth on the card.

Chilcott also has last-start trotting winners Shay Scott and Harry H in the third, with both capable of winning if they do everything right.

The Crown Jewels (two wins) starts from the unruly as he takes on an average field in his first mobile start and Chilcott says he “should win”, if on his best behaviour.

“It’s his race to lose. I’m very happy with him, he’s very bright. He hasn’t seen the (mobile) gate, but I’ll be giving them a length or so at the start and making sure he trots.” The sixyear-old son of Pegasus Spur suffered a stifle injury which kept him away from the races for a year, resuming on June 30 with three promising efforts, but has blotted his copybook in his last two runs after losing big stretches of ground.

She says speedy but erratic eightyear-old trotter Shay Scott is thriving on racing since joining her stable and looks “a million dollars”.

He has won two at Cambridge recently by big margins and only needs to trot away to be a big chance in the third tonight.

Muscles Yankee five-year-old Harry H starts from 20m for driver Fergus Schumacher, but his gritty win at Cambridge last week when resuming shows he could be right there at the business end.

Scherger Chief has been solid at the workouts, but Chilcott said the three-year-old Sportswriter gelding strikes a strong maiden pacing field in the fourth. “He’s more of a top-four chance.”
