National Stakes (Sandown) 2023

[Chivers1987]

Plenty of money has come in this evening for ‘Elite Status’ and that’s fair enough, he looked handy on debut. I am surprised that ‘Blue Storm’ isn’t the current favourite though as his maiden victory has worked out incredibly well.
2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th of the 7 runners that day have won next time out. Plenty of potential in this line up and 2 year old form can be difficult to weigh up but I can’t ignore the form on offer with an added bonus of a good draw.

Blue Storm 7/2

Agree with the stats in favour of Blue Storm Chivers. However I’m going for his half brother On Point who ran on 1000 Guineas day over 5 furlongs in a Class 3 Maiden.
Only 3 horses ran as the ground had turned very sticky after the Guineas and 5 horses were withdrawn.
Although green he ran a good maiden race holding off Mashida in a head to head dash for the post.
He just found that little bit extra at the finish and I think he will come on a lot for that run.
Absolutely stunning looking horse.

On Point – WIN – 5/1

Best of luck.

Very impressive turn of foot

Wow that was impressive..I thought Blue Storm had it there but Elite Status flew home.

One Point slowy away and not good enough..disappointing from him.
