Sandown Park Race 5 - George Lindon-Travers Memorial Hcp (Gbbplus Race)
PROBATION (3) powered clear by 12L over 2300m at Lingfield on latest appearance and now steps up in trip for a small-field Sandown handicap. Alexandra Egan retains the ride and further progress should keep him difficult to beat. Sets the standard. MY BALLYQUINN (1) followed a Doncaster second with a 0.5L York success tackling 2800m. Stamina looks assured after two strong staying efforts. Main danger. ALMA LATINA (2) returned from a short break when third beaten 4L tackling 2400m at Epsom most recently. Previous 3.5L Pontefract maiden victory reads well and this longer distance might suit. Cannot be discounted.

Racing well recently. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at York June 27 over 2800m defeating Who's Lope carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Doncaster on June 20 over 2400m, head behind Central Command with 61kg at $2.30. Ticking along nicely so don't discount in this.

Racing well recently. Last start won by 12 len at Lingfield July 15 over 2300m defeating Golden Orbit with 51.5kg at $2.30. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Lingfield on June 6 over 2000m, slow going 1.5 len behind Relentless Hero with 58.5kg at $2.50. Does rise 4.0kg on that win, but still looks a solid chance.
