Who Can Claim the Classic?
The Sandown Classic, a Group 2, 2400m showdown, carries the Spring Carnival on after the Melbourne Cup Festival is well and truly over. With prizemoney in 2007 reaching AUS$400,000, this race draws the best horses 2 years old and upwards, and is run under weight for age conditions.
The Big Names...
Zipping
Last year's winner finished a disappointing 9th in last week's Melbourne Cup. With many punters jumping on the familiar name, the bay gelding broke many hearts. News got worse when regular jockey Danny Nikolic was suspended this week, but one of Australia's current hot riders - Michael Rodd - has accepted to the reins. Is this a sure winning combination?
Capecover
This bay gelding was in the winner's circuit at last week's Emirates Stakes Day with huge win in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes and many can see him coming home first again this week. After just missing out on a Melbourne Cup run, is trainer Alexander Fieldes making a statement by dominating the competition?
**Road to Rock **
With a convincing win in last week's Chris Isaak Stakes, trainer Anthony Cummings is predicting big things for this 4-year-old galloper. Many believe that this horse has many wins ahead of him, but will the start at Sandown?
