Sunbaked At Chelmsford
If you ignore her last run, Sunbaked has strong claims on her luckless second to Wakame.
Sunbaked finished a disappointing 10th when I tipped her at Kempton but the fact she has been off for 66 days is perhaps a positive.
Her performance was inexplicable bad (Eve Johnson Houghton told the stewards she had been unsuited by being ridden prominently) but perhaps an injury was a cause for the poor run and subsequent layoff.
On her penultimate start she caught the eye when an unlucky second behind Wakame. She ran the fastest closing sectional by 0.6s and would have won with a clear run. A return to that sort of form should see her go close at 10/1 (Paddy Power).
Odds correct at time of publishing: 03:48 4th Feb, 2016 but subject to change
