Lingfield Tip: Chocco Star

This slow starter but fast finisher has been crying out for a 6f race. Earned an adjusted speed rating of 62 last time out whilst also hampered by getting hit in face by whip in a close finish.

Chocco Star isn’t the best out of the gates and that’s cost him twice over the minimum trip. Each time he closed strongly from the rear but run out of track. Last time out at Wolverhampton he was the fastest closer having been stationed in rear; he might even got the the front but for a slap in the face from a flailing jockey’s whip.


Given his propensity for slow starts and fast finishes, the step up to 6f looks a sensible decision. He’s not been with Chelsea Banham long, has relatively few miles on the clock and his adjusted speed rating of 62 suggests he is capable of winning a class 6 handicap.
