AU - Sandown Hillside - Race 8

Onto our feature. Eight horses but the quality is there. ANGEL CAPITAL (3) is as good as any of these on his day as evidenced by his win in the G1 Rupert Clarke two back where he got a hot tempo to run at and exploded late. Blinkers stay on from The Everest which was too sharp back in trip, he'll sit off a strong pace here and have plenty of time to balance up and rip home. JIMMYSSTAR (1) beat Angel Capital in this race last year, arguably his best win to date although his form since has been a bit mixed. The Manikato win was impressive but he didn't beat a whole lot there, The Everest run was solid and he had no chance from the gate in the Russell Balding so excuses can be made. PERICLES (2) won the Russell Balding under a sweet ride. He's a G1 winner this trip and might be on fresher legs. BEIWACHT (5) is the 7f G1 specialist. He might not get all favours with SHADHAVAR (8) kicking up inside him but he did belt Angel Capital & Jimmy in the Memsie earlier this Spring.
