Sandown Park Race 1 - Woburn Partners Nursery
The improving and well-bred NOVELETTE (1) can complete a hat-trick. This Simon and Ed Crisford trained filly quickened nicely to deny an impressive subsequent winner over course and distance a month ago. Will take beating. LEBRON POWER (3) disappointed at Goodwood. Holds major claims on her fourth behind a G2 Lowther Stakes third place runner in the track and trip Listed Coral Dragon Stakes last month. Ffos Las novice winner BASSENTHWAITE (4) might go well making nursery debut. EXCLAMATION (2) warrants respect following a breakthrough success attempting the journey at Doncaster.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.5 len at this track July 30 over 1000m defeating Lil Brother with 58.5kg at $4.30. Before that ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.3 len at Great Yarmouth July 9 over 1040m defeating Zighy with 58kg at $3.80. Form good for this and rates as a major player.
