Sandown 3:45 - 26th Aug 2006

3:45 5f 6yds - exclusiveprices@bluesquare.com Handicap (Class 2)

This is a class 2 handicap in name only as there are a number of horses that have no right to run at this grade. Two factors make this race complicated.

Firstly the clerk of the course has been playing funny buggers with the rails and based on recent races low drawn horses may not be disadvantaged which is the norm.

Secondly there is little pace in the race!

So, mixing the tea leaves and chicken bones together basic handicapping has thrown up low drawn Gimasha as the class in the field and the unexposed 3yo Hogmaneigh. Big danger is Matsunosuke who takes a big step in class but in the context of this race that may mean very little at 3:50 this afternoon!
