Sandown racing tip (1430): Fast finisher Whiskey Pete to claim first win

1430 British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes

10 spritely two-year-olds will line up for the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes at Sandown on Wednesday with Ralph Becket’s Whiskey Pete at the top of the market.

He’s one of five horses to have two runs under his belt thus far so will no doubt benefit from that, while Kingdom of Time is also expected to feature in the frame.

There was nothing standout about his appearance at Newmarket but it was a steady run on firm ground. The soft ground at Sandown could be a positive, as Dam Via Condotti was a winner on soft ground in France.

Dambuster, Always a Star, Muttasil, Toronto Raptor and Screaming Eagle are all making their first appearance on Wednesday so rank as an unknown quantity.

Superposition, one of those with two runs, made a promising debut before failing to live up to his tag as favourite last time out and has room for improvement.

But Whiskey Pete has given us the most evidence to go on thus far and his strong finish where he nearly chased down Aablan in the Solario Stakes suggests he has a pacey finish in him.

His opponents on that day, and those from a similarly run race at Haydock, have gone on to bigger and better things since to help put his promise into perspective.

Suggested bet: Whiskey Pete to win the 14:30 at Sandown
