Sandown Park Race 7 - Nordoff & Robbins Ozzy Osbourne Memorial Handicap
The promising INTO THE LIGHT (3) made a winning debut tackling this trip in a Lingfield AW maiden before a smart 3L second in a 2400m novice race at Southwell AW six weeks ago. Open to further progress now handicapping. Holds a classic entry. Leading contender for Godolphin. MAGIC TRIP (4) found success on first attempt over 1600m at Bath before returning with a solid 1.5L third contesting a 1600m novice event at Kempton AW three weeks ago. Makes appeal. LOST BOYS (2) placed on outings at Newbury and Ascot prior to a 1600m maiden victory at Haydock last September where form has worked out well. In the mix on comeback run. BNAIDER (6) rates next best.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.0 len at Lingfield All Weather February 14 over 2000m defeating Al Azd carrying 59kg at $3.80. Second-up 2nd in a small field at Southwell All Weather on March 11 over 2400m, 3 len behind Ravenspire carrying 62kg at $1.90. Going well. Key runner who is expected to be in the finish.

Second-up. First-up after five months 3rd of 13 at Kempton Park All Weather on April 1 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Balzac with 60kg at $2.60. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at Milan in G3 on October 19 over 1500m, 8 len behind Gaga Mate carrying 56kg at $9.75. Genuine galloper and is worth thought.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign third of 10 at Newbury October 24 over 1600m, soft track; 7 len behind Gonna Fly carrying 59kg at $3.30. On debut fourth of 10 at Ffos Las August 13 over 1500m, 4 len behind Mcmurray with 60.5kg at $51. Will certainly be better for this run.
