Sandown Park Race 2 - Bet365 Esher Cup Handicap
ORGANISE (3) arrives unbeaten managing a 1400m Southwell AW debut success by 7L prior to a 1600m novice victory at Yarmouth two weeks ago. Represents notable connections making handicap debut. Top selection. NOBODY KNOWS (7) is another two from two with a novice win at Ayr last year preceding a 1.5L success contesting a 1700m novice race at Wolverhampton AW a month ago. Rates the main danger. LOOK TO THE STARS (2) scored twice from five attempts last year and made the frame at this venue. Drops in standard after a 5L sixth tackling the 2000m G3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket during October. Shortlist on comeback run. Last month Wolverhampton AW handicap winner LAUREATE CROWN (5) might feature.

Second-up. Promising on debut as favourite; scored a big 7 len win at Southwell All Weather November 26 over 1400m defeating The Stone Power with 60.5kg at $2.10. Returned from break favourite; won by 1.3 len at Great Yarmouth April 11 over 1600m defeating Weheedd carrying 61kg at $1.50. Another win looks on the cards. Hard knock the winning form.
