Chelmsford Tip: Teruntum Star

Unexposed on all-weather but 5/22 in this grade on turf. Better handicapped than others in this race and ran well at Lingfield with a 22.05s closing sectional.

The 5.55 Chelmsford is a high quality sprint and much of the decision process resolves around how you rate the run of Tropics/Gracious John at Wolverhampton on the 21 December. The time was nothing special and both have to contend with handicap marks of 100+. They’ve both won off marks like this before but it seems a big ask.


Teruntum Star is relatively unexposed on the all-weather, this is just his fourth start but he is a high quality sprinter and his record in this grade is 5/22. He found his spin around Lingfield on the sharp side but was only beaten 1.75 lengths in a fair time for the grade.

his closing sectional of 22.05s was amongst the best in the race and suggests he has the finishing kick to win around a bend.
