Sandown Park Race 6

Chasemore Farm Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Stake: $22,914

VALIANCY (1) was beaten 1.75L in a strong looking race at Haydock. Form has already been boosted and with plenty more to come from this gelding could prove hard to beat representing top yard. EARNEST BELIEF (3) is improving each start. Steps into handicaps off an appealing mark. Easy to fancy. WHATSGOINGONMARVIN (2) was denied a hat-trick when 1.25L second at Ffos Las. This rapidly progressive gelding might provide another bold showing. PERSONAL BEST (4) seemed to relish the testing conditions when a 1L winner at Ffos Las. Each way claims tackling this better ground.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 10 at Haydock Park on July 5 over 2800m, 1.75 len behind Pole Star carrying 55kg at $3.30. Before that favourite; won by 2.5 len at Hamilton Park June 11 over 2200m defeating Elsass with 58kg at $1.10. Well placed and sure to be in the finish.

Form hard to fault. Most recently sat on the pace when 2nd of 7 at Ffos Las on July 16 over 2400m, 1.3 len behind Respiro Solitario carrying 62kg at $1.40. The run before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at Chester July 12 over 2900m defeating Percy Shelley with 53.5kg at $2.60. Not far away last start. One of the better chances.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 40-day let-up. At the latest run ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Goodwood on June 20 over 2800m, 7 len behind Way Of Stars carrying 57.5kg at $4.50. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Haydock Park on May 30 over 2400m, 2 len behind Pole Star carrying 56.5kg at $7. Capable of taking this out.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 31 day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at Ffos Las June 29 over 2800m in soft going defeating Maxident with 55.5kg at $7. The start before that 4th of 10 at this track on June 13 over 2800m, 1.5 len behind Synergism carrying 61kg at $34. One of the chances.

Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Haydock Park on July 4 over 2300m, 1.5 len behind Kuredu King with 60.5kg at $2.40. The start before that 2nd of 12 at Newbury on June 12 over 2400m, 1.5 len behind Circus Of Rome carrying 56.5kg at $8. Likely to find this out of reach.
