Sandown Park Race 4

Betmgm Solario Stakes (Group 3)

Stake: $130,719

John and Thady Gosden won this twelve months ago with a subsequent dual G1 winner and though PUBLISH (7) has some way to reach those heights there is no doubting his potential. The well-bred son of Kingman kept on when beating a useful rival in a course and distance maiden last time and can ensure his connections claim the prize once more. PACIFIC AVENUE (6) also looked to be above-average making a winning debut at Newmarket (July). Holds obvious claims for a yard that have won two of the last three renewals. Wide-margin Beverley debut winner HE'S WALIIM (2) warrants consideration up in grade. HUMIDITY (3) might be thereabouts from an each-way perspective.

Racing well recently. At the latest run in a small field at Salisbury in the LR Stonehenge Stakes on August 13 over 1600m, 4 len behind Morris Dancer with 58.5kg at $1.80. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Ascot in the LR Pat Eddery Stakes on July 25 over 1400m, head behind Time To Turn carrying 59.5kg at $3.50. In form and worth following up.

Having third race start. At very big odds at debut, settled back and ran on when 9th of 12 at Newmarket (July) on July 11 over 1400m, 10 len behind Distant Storm carrying 58kg at $51. Second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Ffos Las August 5 over 1500m defeating Conjecture carrying 60.5kg at $7. Looks tested against this line-up.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at this track on July 4 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Pacifica Pier carrying 60.5kg at $2.50. Last start favourite; won by 1.3 len at this track July 24 over 1400m defeating Catullus with 60.5kg at $1.60. In form and looks a top chance again.
