Spare Parts has been the story of the AW campaign, winning five races in total, and goes again at Chelmsford tonight. Already the winning-most runner, Phil McEntee’s charge is out in an effort to make it six at 19:30.
McEntee’s social media updates of the goings on in his yard are a refreshingly transparent take on interaction with the public and the £2,000 buy Spare Parts is central to many of them with his mud-splattered antics.
It’s another one of his Newmarket-based trainer’s string that we want to take a flyer on this evening though.
Justice Rock is will go an hour after his buddy Spare Parts, in the 20:30 Bet Scoop6 At totesport.com Handicap - a class 6 affair over 7 furlongs.
The five-year-old gelding ran with credit here last time over a furlong shorter, meeting a spot of trouble and keeping on well to finish third. The way he shaped that way indicated that he want might a shade longer these days, so the step up in trip this evening should suit.
His stable is in stellar form and he’ll have Nicola Currie, another star of the all-weather this winter, on his back claiming five.
That leaves him on an effective handicap mark of 42, the same mark he was on when he last won here a few months back.
All looks in place for a decent run from the selection. The crowd that lines up against him should not hold any fears and we'll get involved with a win-only small-stake wager.
