WEDNESDAY CHANCES AT SANDOWN

Three runners for us on the Hillside at Sandown today with Sigourney, Big Watch and Lady In The Sky racing.

Sigourney is the first to go in race three over 1800 metres with Mark Zahra aboard.

“She’s racing well with placings at her last two starts and she’s worth her place in this field today,” Mike Moroney said. “She’s untried at the distance but gives me the impression she will handle it, on her breeding you would think it will be no problem being by Reliable Man out of a Montjeu mare so it will be interesting to see how she measures up in what looks a typically competitive benchmark race.”

Big Watch (pictured) is in the following race over 1000 metres with Jamie Mott to ride.

“He’s another one racing consistently and he deserves another win,” Mike said. “He led here last start and stuck on well over 1300 metres. He’s back in trip trip today but I don’t think that will be an issue and I’m expecting him to be competitive.”

Lady In The Sky rounds out the day for us in race six over 2400 metres with Patrick Moloney riding.

“She’s out to her right trip now and she’s fit enough after two runs this preparation,” Mike said. “The scratchings have helped, she’s drawn to get a nice run and while she might be half a run away I’m still expecting her to be in the finish on a course where she has a good record.”
