Sandown 4:05 pm

AI Verdict

This Sandown handicap over a mile in good-to-soft ground presents a wide-open contest, with the top three horses offering the clearest chances.

WITHTEARSINMYEYES stands out as the most consistent, having won her last start and finished in the top three in four of her five most recent races. Her recent form, combined with a proven ability over the C+D, makes her the pick.

Wondrous Light follows as a progressive filly with two wins in her last five, including a recent victory, and a strong pedigree. Her form over distance is a plus, though her last two efforts were less impressive.

Oh Yes You Do rounds out the trio, having won her last start and finished in the top two in four of her five most recent races. Her consistency over the C+D is a key asset, though her last two efforts were less dominant.

Thursday Girl and Kimeko Glory are the next best threats. Thursday Girl has won once in her last six, while Kimeko Glory has improved steadily, winning her last two starts. Both have shown competitive form over the C+D, though neither has the same level of consistency as the top three.

Lightning Glory is a late runner but has won her last start and finished in the top three in four of her last five races. Her form over distance is solid, though her recent break may work in her favour.

The rest of the field, including Luminare, Siddal, Enchant, Sydney Rock, Medway Queen, and Silken Bay, lack the same level of recent form or consistency to pose a serious threat. Silken Bay, despite her win, has struggled in her last four starts, while Medway Queen returns after a long layoff with no recent form to assess.
