Stamina won the day here - and a double on the card for Mick! Original quote: "Call Out Loud - Better last time on second run back so seems to be slowly blowing the cobwebs away. More needed up in grade here off the same mark, but trying the first-time visor here as took a…

Spot-on call from Mark! Original quote: "Big Amigo - Won well the last day here over CD - has come out of that race very well and despite a 6lb penalty everything is in place for a big run. No reason why he can't go very close again, but, in truth, we'll be a bit…

The money came for Mick's horse - but it's easy to see why. Good call! Original quote: "Mithqaal - A nice prize here and we look to have a decent chance. This horse loved the surface last time when dotting up by 2 lengths over 7f. The step up to a mile should be fine…

Great winner from Dave Griffiths! Original quote: "Pancake Day - Ran a cracker last time when third here over 6f. Been given a chance with same mark and grade. Drop down to 5f is no problem and in good form at home. Hands and Heels race, but we claim a further 7lbs so should be…

Ran a lot better, but the winner had matters in-hand- one to watch next time, possible over 5f! Original quote: "Sarabi - Course winner, but a bit more needed in this grade. Ran well over 5f here two runs ago but that was a weaker race and despite liking the surface also has a bit…

Might have been a tad lucky with a late faller, but still a great effort. Original quote: "Querry House - He's been very consistent and is in good form at home. He jumps well and I do think he'll appreciate the better ground. Trappy little race, with the Henderson and Greatrex horses the clear dangers,…

Nice run from Lee's horse from that draw. Original quote: "Zabdi - Draw 12 not ideal, but a fe non-runners inside us help bring us in a bit. The horse is in great order and ran well last time at Chelmsford to be second. We think the horse that beat us last time is an…

Another good run from Mick's horse - deserves to win soon! Original quote: "Rainbow Lad - Has a fair AW record with a win and two placed runs from 9 starts. Likes the track here too and been given a hand by being dropped a pound from his last run. The favourite might prove hard…

An easy win for Harry's horse. Original quote: "Just An Idea - We look to have the Chris Wall horse (Atlanta Belle) to beat. Been running well without winning and despite looking a bit exposed now with 7 runs his form makes him the one to beat here - has run in Listed and Group…

Nice each-way run from Harry's horse! Original quote: "Miss Tiger Lily - A consistent horse that rarely runs a bad race. A fair second here last time out over 2m and off the same mark has a similar chance. Does have more weight to carry here in what looks an easier race - so if…

Excellent run from Jamie's horse at 33/1! Original quote: "Grand Gold - Goes well at home and has some strong pointing form - first run for us, but would be worried he's a bit high in the handicap - we'll see. But all-in-all a nice recruit for the yard and it will be interesting to…

Another winner for the in-form Mick Appleby team. Original quote: "Tan Arabiq - Been knocking on the door in similar races at the track and so off the same mark look to have another fair chance. Good draw in 4 helps too and Luke Morris rides for the first time. Once again, should not be…

Only just got run out of it up the Sandown hill, but still a cracking run. Original quote: "Very competitive race, but Gores Island is a very consistent horse. Been second the last three times, but we are hoping today that up in grade and a lighter weight gives him a better chance. We also…

Ran another solid race for Lee. Original quote: "Free Zone - In good form and we've got a nice draw here in 2. Did well last time from a wide draw at Chelmsford despite finishing 5th of 10. Front runner so we'll make a bid from the front today and see if he can hold…

Only went down by a neck - e/w money still landed at 12/1! Original quote: "Stosur - Like to race up with the pace so we'll try and make a bold bid from the front if breaking well - but might have some competition on that front with Maggie Pink often liking to lead too.…
