Sandown Park Race 6 - Bet365 'Wild Card' Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
RIBBON OF SEA (2) was off the mark at the second attempt five weeks ago scoring by 2L a 1900m novice event at Wolverhampton AW. This longer trip is likely to suit racing for top connections. Leading player. SUNSHINE STAR (10) represents the Gosden team. Indicated plenty of promise first up last October when 0.5L second in a 1600m novice race at Kempton AW. Holds a classic entry. Big claims. LADYKIRK (6) ran well on debut when 3L second contesting a 1600m Yarmouth maiden during October. Bold performance is expected. BINTSALEH (4) showed improvement on second career outing when 2.25L third tackling a 2000m novice race at Yarmouth two weeks ago. Proven over the distance. Might feature.

Third race start. First start 5th of 8 at Newmarket (July) on August 8 over 1600m, 11 len behind Evolutionist with 58kg at $3.50. Returned from break favourite; won by 2 len at Wolverhampton March 9 over 1900m defeating Oscar Nominee with 58kg at $1.80. Back in great shape and should be right in the mix.

Second-up. First start ran last in a small field at Great Yarmouth on October 6 over 1600m, 6 len behind Sacred Ground carrying 58kg at $5. Went for a break before returning 3rd of 7 at Great Yarmouth on April 11 over 2000m, 2.25 len behind Harriet Quimby carrying 56kg at $4.30. Cannot be disregarded on the back of that sort of form.
