Races MR Sandown - LAKESIDE

Back half, grinding finish, didn't handle track 17.8L at Caulfield Bm78 2000m Soft 6. Leader's back, edged out, loomed, not quite 1.9L at Flemington Bm84 1800m Soft 7. Proven class runner. May need some luck from the barrier.

Failed to improve position from behind the leaders throughout, sixth 2.7L at Geelong Bm70 2400m. Rear half, wide no cover, chased hard in straight 3.1L at Sandown Hillside Bm70 1600m Soft 5. Nice return. Fitter for effort.

Passed a few horses over the concluding stages for fourth 6.1L at Apiam Bendigo Marong Cup over 2200m. Effortless win to reel in the leaders from midfield 2.3L at Sale Bm64 over 1728m. Has won second-up previously.

Always well back, not up to task, prefer easier 8.6L at Caulfield Bm84 over 1600m Soft 6. One-paced to the line and always well back 4L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm84 over 1600m. Down in grade here so don't dismiss.

Ran on nicely over the concluding stages to win 0.5L at Warrnambool Bm64 2000m Soft 6. Run of race behind the leaders and just missed for second 0.1L at Warwick Farm Bm72 2130m Soft 6. Racing style looks better suited here.

Excellent effort to come from midfield and win with style 0.4L at Morphettville Parks Bm80 over 1950m. Rearward, made early move, short lived 8.1L at Caulfield Bm84 Hcp over 2400m Soft 6. Like chances back to this level.

Never in contention after settling a long way back 6.2L at Caulfield Bm70 over 1800m. Well back, passed some tired ones late 11.2L at Caulfield Bm78 over 2000m Soft 6. Likely to benefit from the drop in grade.

Ridden back, grinding finish for long 4th 4.2L at Mornington Bm78 over 2000m Soft 5. Wide no cover, kept rolling, merit to effort 5.2L at Caulfield Bm78 over 2000m Soft 6. Nicely placed by trainer here.

Hardly sighted in the race until the final stages grabbing sixth 5.1L at Bendigo Bm70 1600m. Fought hard to hold fourth position with the leaders but was no match 4.4L at Warrnambool Bm70 1700m Soft 6. Untapped stayer.

Weakened out of the race after doing a lot of chasing 8.3L at Caulfield Bm70 over 1800m. Rearward, made early move, peaked late 5L at Caulfield Bm78 over 2000m Soft 6. Nicely placed by trainer here.

Swooped home to win after getting well back in the running 1.5L at Geelong Bm58 over 1525m Heavy 8. Fantastic run home in the last part of the race for third after getting too far back 1.7L at Pakenham Bm64 over 1600m Soft 6.

Big effort to finish the race off well for third after getting back in transit 2.6L at Sale Bm64 over 1728m. Great gallop to fly late into second spot after getting back in the running 3.3L at Sale Bm64 over 1744m Soft 5.
