Sandown Park Race 4 - Sporting Times/Sri Lanka Nursery (Gbbplus Race)
WHISKEY BENT (2) Winner by 1 1/2L last time at Clairefontaine and promising career start. Performing honestly since resuming from a spell and showing improvement in recent outings. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Can give this a shake. TIORA TIME (6) Looked good when 2nd last start at Salisbury and putting a tidy record together. Will be motoring home late. Has not missed the money this preparation in 3 attempts. Deserves consideration. CLIVE THE WRITER (3) Finished well when winning last time at Kempton. Finishes off strongly. Can get the job done. CILICIAN (1) Made some ground when 4th last time in a chase at Sandown and drawn the rails. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Has to carry more weight this time. Could run a race.

Strong effort to the line to win last run at Lingfield but competing in a more challenging class. One for your tricast.

Big effort to finish 3rd beaten by 4L last start at Ffos Las but facing a stronger grade. Jockey Rhys Clutterbuck and trainer Ralph Beckett are an appealing combination. Has some claims.

Ran 2nd last start at Salisbury and showing consistent performance in races. Has very good finishing speed. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation and has a positive draw. Good chance of taking this out.

Picked up late ground when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last run in a chase at Sandown but rising in grade. Should muster plenty of early speed. Pass at this stage.

Started $4.50 and faded away to finish 4th last time at Newbury but good career start. Will be hitting the line strongly. Watch for a sign in the market.
