Sandown Park Race 2 - British Stallion Studs Ebf Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
CATCHING DREAMS (2) made a solid start when 0.5L second over 1000m at Lingfield (turf) twelve days ago. Dam was a speedy winning juvenile. Will take plenty of stopping. Newcomer PULSE OF FIRE (7) is by Mehmas and a half-brother to dual G3 winner Pretty Baby. Stable is successful so watch the market. MENHAAL (6) was turned over twice as a hot favourite earlier in the campaign both at 1200m. Gelded since and clearly thought capable of better so warrants consideration. Showcasing filly ELEVATING (8) failed to trouble them when ninth in a 1400m Goodwood maiden last week. Drop in trip could prompt a return to form.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, ran last of 9 at Leicester on July 4 over 1200m, 15 len behind Tamam Star with 59kg at $12. Last start ran second last of 12 at Southwell All Weather on July 23 over 1200m, 17 len behind Rlasthope carrying 59kg at $67. Form reversal unlikely.
