Sandown Park Race 5

Bet365 Classic Trial (Group 3)

Prize Money: $156,826

WINDLORD (5) was useful last season. The Andrew Balding trained son of Dubawi appeared in need of the 2000m journey when third attempting the G2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh. Likely ready to go resuming. Impressive Newmarket (Rowley) debut winner I AM I SAID (2) must be respected up in trip reappearing for top connections. SWAGMAN (4) finished second behind a subsequent G1 winner in the 1400m G3 Tyros Stakes. Interesting now raised significantly in distance after a lengthy break. Commanding first time out Southwell winner DAMYSUS (1) also needs to be included representing top connections.

Resuming after a break; only one run when favourite; won by 2.5 len at Southwell All Weather December 10 over 1400m defeating Hidden Secret with 60.5kg at $1.70. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
