Varian’s Australis to keep perfect record

AUS T RA L I S has won both his s tar ts a t Chelmsford and can maintain his perfect record back at the Essex track.

Roger Varian’s four-yearold appears to prefer an artificial surface to the turf, so it is safe to draw a line through his latest start when he was well-beaten in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket.

Australis is much better judged on his all-weather form, and not just for his two victories here, because he was also second in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle in June.

The Australia gelding can register a fourth career success in the chelmsfordcityracecourse. com Handicap.

GHALYOON just got collared at Lingfield last time but can make amends in the CCR Supports Safer Ga m b l i n g We e k Handicap.

The five- year- old was having just his sixth career start when caught close home by Documenting, although he looked to still be learning his trade.

Ma r c u s Tr e g o n i n g ’ s charge has just the one win to his name so far, but he still has scope for improvement.
