Sandown Park Race 2 - Orbital Veterinary Services Nursery
NOVELETTE (5) went clear securing a 1.25L win at Great Yarmouth. That was impressive and looks to be improving with every start. Could take beating making handicap debut. COUNTRY ARTISTE (4) encountered a potentially smart filly beaten 4L at Newmarket last time. Likely no rival of that ability in this so may shed the maiden tag. KESTA (3) showed a great attitude when a nose winner at Windsor. Weight rise is fair and rates a big chance of going back to back. KOLKATA KNIGHT (1) is yet to build upon a winning debut. Now competing at a more realistic level and can bounce back. Potential threat to all.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at Newbury in the LR Rose Bowl Stakes on July 18 over 1200m, 9 len behind Wise Approach with 58kg at $12. The run before that failed to make an impression; 15th of 20 at Ascot in the G2 Coventry Stakes on June 17 over 1200m, 10 len behind Gstaad carrying 58.5kg at $51. Well placed so worth another chance.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. Last start 12th of 15 at Ascot in the G2 Norfolk Stakes on June 19 over 1000m, 8 len behind Charles Darwin carrying 58.5kg at $67. The race before that won by 0.5 len at Nottingham June 12 over 1000m defeating Schrodinger's Cat with 60.5kg at $7. Worth a market check.

Recent form sound. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Windsor July 14 over 1000m defeating Social Exclusion carrying 58kg at $4.50. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Haydock Park on July 4 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Cotai Belle with 60kg at $9. One of the better chances.
