Sandown Park Race 4 - Up Handicap
MUHAAJIM (1) makes handicap debut following a 1.75L maiden victory over this distance at Pontefract. Can double up. DANGERMAN (5) represents notable connections. Improved from a last of twelve at Newbury to score impressively by 3L tackling this track and trip last time. Will be thereabouts. ADVANCING (2) scored by 1.5L debuting at Kempton Park AW before a fourth at Newcastle AW back in March. Interesting following a five-month break and wearing first-time cheekpieces. LIBERATE (3) narrowly won by a neck two starts back at Goodwood before a fourth at Chester. May return to winning ways.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. At the latest run 9th of 12 at Newbury on June 12 over 2400m, 9 len behind Circus Of Rome carrying 61kg at $12. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at Nottingham on May 20 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Serenity Blue with 58kg at $2.40. Goes well at this distance so he deserves another chance.
