Sandown Park Race 6

Bet 10 Get 40 With Betmgm Nursery

Stake: $44,243

LOHOOBB (4) showed promise in three outings to date and shaped as though he would appreciate stepping up to 1400m. Battled on well enough to finish fourth behind a fair yardstick at Windsor last time and may improve switching to handicaps. PENHALLAM (1) could also appreciate rise in distance. Needs to be considered on the back of a near miss over 1200m at Newbury recently. LUCKY HERO (3) ran on strongly from off the pace to finish a close third at Chester last time and cannot be ignored tackling this stiffer track. MR WRITER (2) completes the shortlist.

At the latest run 2nd of 8 at Newbury on August 15 over 1200m, nose behind French Affair carrying 59.5kg at $4.20. Before that 7th of 11 at Goodwood on August 1 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Ardisia with 56kg at $12. Hard to beat on that latest effort.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run 8th of 11 at Goodwood on August 1 over 1200m, 5 len behind Ardisia with 55.5kg at $13. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Newbury on July 10 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Penhallam carrying 58kg at $126. Happy to risk.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Nottingham on August 7 over 1220m, 5 len behind The Prettiest Star carrying 58kg at $5. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Chepstow on June 16 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Bosa Nova carrying 58kg at $2.80. Among the chances.
