Sandown Park Race 1 - Bet365 Handicap
CALICO BLUE (2) Resuming after a spell of 41 weeks. Was a comprehensive winner by 4 3/4L last start at Chester and has a good draw. Has plenty of early speed. Top prospects against this opposition. HYPNOTISED (7) Racing fresh today after a 30 week spell. Stormed home to win last time at Southwell but challenged by more formidable competitors. Won't be far away. AMBISHIO (8) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Southwell but facing formidable competition. Displays good tactical speed. Gets a reduction in weight. One of the hopes. UNDERWRITER (1) First up from a break of 36 weeks and bold effort when winning first up last preparation at Ayr. Likely to be well placed early. Coming back in distance. Meeting a good field and you can take on trust.

First up from a break of 36 weeks and was eating up the ground late to win first up last preparation at Ayr. Facing a stronger grade. Down in distance. Not hopeless.

On a quick back up. Was $101.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last time at Newmarket but dropping in class. Should race on the speed. Rising in weight. Would not recommend.

First up from a break of 30 weeks. Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at Southwell but racing in stronger company. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Odds of $23.00 and ran 7th last start at Newcastle but facing a weaker group of contenders. Should muster plenty of early speed. Few more classier types in this race.
