Sandown Park Race 4 - Bet365 Mile (Group 2)

FIELD OF GOLD (5) Fresh after a 26 week break. Closed off nicely when 5th last start at Ascot and proven runner at this distance. Should race on the speed. Every chance today. ZEUS OLYMPIOS (3) Back from a 30 week spell. Finished well when winning last run at Newmarket and securing a solid record thus far. R L Moore is an advantage. Rates a winning chance. OPERA BALLO (2) Has multiple wins when resuming. Did a good job when winning by 2 1/4L last start at Meydan and suited at this trip in the past. Has a good draw. Capable of taking this out. NEVER SO BRAVE (6) First up and close to a win first up last preparation at Chester. Should muster plenty of early toe. Include in chances.

Goes well first up. Good win by 2 1/4L last start at Meydan and ideal trip as proven previously. William T Buick has multiple wins aboard and drawn nicely. Should go close.

First run back from a 30 week spell. Was eating up the ground late to win last run at Newmarket and continuing to build a commendable record. Drawn beautifully. Holds a major chance.

Racing fresh after a break of 26 weeks. Jumped at $2.62 and advanced late into 5th last start at Ascot and have to respect the form at this trip. Will attract plenty of interest.
