Sandown Park Race 3 - Bet365 Gordon Richards Stakes (Group 3)

Two-time Listed winner ALMERIC (1) ticks plenty of boxes. Produced a successful three-year-old campaign and concluded last year with a ninth attempting the 2000m G1 Champion Stakes last October at Ascot. Finds a good opportunity on return. Serious player. KING OF CITIES (3) narrowly won the 1800m G3 Strensall Stakes at York before a fair fifth tackling the 1950m G2 Prix Dollar at Longchamp (France) last October. Big chance. DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (2) returned with a smart second contesting the 2000m Listed Magnolia Stakes at Kempton Park AW. Holds claims second up. SADDADD (4) is a previous course and distance winner. Interesting.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of six months. Finished off last campaign ninth of 11 at Ascot in the G1 Champion Stakes October 18 over 2000m, 13 len behind Calandagan carrying 58.5kg at $19. Previous preparation first-up won by 2.75 len Ayr LR Doonside Cup September 20 over 2000m slow track defeating King's Gambit carrying 58.5kg at $2.60.

Second run back. First-up after six months 2nd of 7 at Kempton Park All Weather in the LR Magnolia Stakes on April 6 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Gethin with 58.5kg at $2.90. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len at Doncaster September 11 over 2040m defeating Hopewell Rock with 61kg at $21. In form and certainly worth following up.
