Laying Eastern is my Gift to you

17:25 Sandown - LAY - Eastern Gift (Forecast 3.25)

Todays race is a class 3 maiden over 7 furlongs. Eastern Gift is the forecast favourite trained by Hannon and ridden by Hughes.

But this horse has proven time and time again that he lacks both talent and class. Already beaten four times in maiden company this year he isn't progressive horse and is poorly drawn today. His current official rating of 88 looks flattering and the step up to 7 furlongs is not in his favour.

Barry Hills has won this race five times in the last six years and Crystal Rock is ideally drawn in stall two to improve his trainer's strike rate. Hold The Gold and Belomi can also go well in a competitve maiden but I will be laying Eastern Gift.
