Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 26, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 26, 2018 Derby pretenders stick their heads above the parapet at Sandown on Friday, with Manton Estate Racing’s Chilean (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}) looking to further his claims in the G3 bet365 Classic Trial. Still in the 2000 Guineas, he beat the well-regarded Niarchos colt Study of Man (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in Longchamp’s G3 Prix la Force over nine furlongs on heavy ground last time Apr. 8 and sets the standard. John Gosden has won this a record eight times and relies on Gestut Ammerland’s homebred Sevenna Star (Ire) (Redoute’s Choice {Aus}), who opened his account by 14 lengths over this trip also on a heavy surface at Windsor on Apr. 16. “He is in good form and he took that race at Windsor very well the other day,” he explained. “He had been pleasing us at home, but it is not normal to go and win by 14 lengths. We will see what the ground is, but if there is cut in it he will handle it.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
