Sandown Park Race 4 - Davies Insurance Solutions Gala Stakes (Listed)
SALLAAL (5) returned in good order this preparation opening with a second at Epsom Downs two starts back then scoring by 6L tackling 2000m at Epsom Downs. Finds the right race and can go back-to-back. PERSICA (3) finished 2.75L fifth making latest appearance over 2000m at Ascot. Proving effective at this distance with three wins from nine attempts. Leading contender. ROYAL RHYME (4) comes here off a last-start fourteenth beaten 7L contesting 2000m at Ascot. One of the main chances. BOILING POINT (1) dug deep to score two runs back then was 2L third trying 1700m in the G3 Diomed Stakes at Epsom Downs. With gate speed to take up a forward position could be thereabouts.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 8 at Epsom Downs in the G3 Diomed Stakes on June 5 over 1700m, 2 len behind Seagulls Eleven with 61kg at $6.50. The race before that won by a nose at Goodwood LR Festival Stakes May 22 over 2000m defeating Naqeeb with 58.5kg at $6.50. Should be in the finish.

Third-up today. Resuming 2nd in a small field at Epsom Downs on April 28 over 2000m, 1.0 len behind Rathgar with 62kg at $3.50. Second run from a spell favourite; came from midfield and won by 6 len at Epsom Downs June 5 over 2000m defeating Respond with 61kg at $3.50. Well placed.
