3:00 Sandown Tips

With Pacific Mission yet to prove she's trained on from ages two to three, and Sacred Ground not certain to appreciate this cut back to a mile, Act Of Kindness could be the way to go in this race. A half sister to Yang Yang, the daughter of Siyouni took big steps forward in each of her first three starts, breaking her maiden second out before finishing third in the G3 Nell Gwyn which is almost certainly the strongest form on offer in this race. Appleby's charge was then somewhat disappointing when last seen fading out of a prominent position in a slowly run race at York; however, her pedigree leans towards stamina not speed being her strength, and a stronger pace may have seen her to better effect. What's more, we shouldn't forget that Appleby's stable was under a large cloud at that time, with numerous runners performing below par. Things are going better for the Godolphin trainer now though, and with a cozy inside stalking trip forecast for this runner who retains plenty of upside potential, Billy Loughnane looks to have a fabulous chance of improving on his remarkable 39% strike rate for Appleby (21-for-53).

Just three career runs for this unexposed 3yo filly. She wasn't beaten far in a strong looking Group 3 on her return during April, totally messing up the start and meeting plenty of traffic problems. She was then too keen in the Group 1 1000 Gunieas. Worth another chance and could be underestimated at this Listed level.
