Sandown Park Race 1 - Starsports.bet Handicap
ROCKIN' THE BOAT (3) shaped as though stepping up to 1600m would be a positive when keeping on into fourth tackling a race that has worked out at Newmarket (Rowley) 26 days ago. Booking Ryan Moore once more catches the eye as does her maiden form. WICKED (5) encountered a useful horse when second in a 1600m novice event at Newmarket (Rowley). Not to be ignored delivering initial handicap attempt. WINSTON'S WARRIOR (8) was denied a nose at Kempton on his handicap debut 24 days ago and could go well once more. SEVEN SYMPHONIES (1) also needs to be included.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign third of 9 at Southwell All Weather December 14 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Saddadd carrying 62kg at $4. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.3 len Southwell All Weather November 21 over 1600m defeating Wolfpack with 60.5kg at $13. Look for a bold run.

Third-up today. First-up 5th of 10 at Southwell All Weather on April 27 over 1600m, 5 len behind Dixieland Blues carrying 59kg at $4. Second run from a spell 2nd of 8 at Newmarket (Rowley) on May 16 over 1600m, 5 len behind Bedouin Prince with 59kg at $8. Racing well. Should be cherry ripe third-up and looks very hard to beat.

Comes off a 47 day let-up. Last start ran last in a small field at Nottingham on April 12 over 1680m, 7 len behind Secret Theory with 61kg at $15. The race before that won by a head at Southwell All Weather February 22 over 1600m defeating General Admission carrying 56kg at $3.50. Better than the last run suggests and can do better.
