Races MR Sandown - HILLSIDE

Tried to sustain a long run on the pace but dropped out sharply 19.3L at Hamilton Hton Cup over 2200m. One-paced to the line and always well back 8L at Flemington Bm78 over 2000m. Second-up.

Came from midfield with a well timed run to win 0.4L at Ladbrokes Geelong Bm58 over 2440m. Passed a few horses over the concluding stages for fourth 4.8L at The Valley Bm70 over 2500m.

Held position to the line for third 0.9L at Wyong Cl1 2130m. Nice ride to sit behind the leaders but found little when let go finishing sixth 8L at Apiam Bendigo Bm64 over 2400m. Could be the value selection this race.

Mediocre performance after settling just behind the leaders 4.3L at Seymour Bm64 over 1600m. Ran on nicely over the concluding stages to win narrowly 0.2L at Wangaratta Bm64 over 2000m.

Disappointing performance when never got warm 5.3L at Ladbrokes Geelong Bm64 over 1733m. Hardly sighted until very late gaining sixth 4.5L at The Valley Bm70 over 2040m.

Saddle shifted and weighed in light Mornington Bm64 over 2050m. Amongst the leaders and gave backers every hope 1.9L at The Valley Bm64 over 2040m Soft 5. Right in the mix.

Passed a few horses over the concluding stages for fourth 3.8L at The Valley Bm64 over 2040m. Enjoyed a cosy run behind the leaders but only held ground for fifth 6.3L at The Valley Bm70 over 2500m.

Had few excuses after finding a nice trail midfield 7.5L at Apiam Bendigo Bm58 over 2400m. Pounced on the lead and ran away from rivals to win convincingly 2L at Colac Bm58 over 2000m.

Tracked into the race well from a forward position but was no match fifth 3L at Stawell Bm58 over 2004m. Didn't come into the race after settling midfield 10.2L at Wangaratta Bm64 over 2000m. Needs to rediscover best form.

One-paced to the line and always well back 13.1L at Moe Bm58 over 1623m. Got going late into sixth place after needing a binoculars to find it at the 400m 7.3L at Terang Bm58-Hwgt over 2150m.

Enormous effort to get so close to the winner when third 2.4L at Caulfield Bm70 2000m. Under pressure in the lead and had to pull out all stops to hold sixth 2L at Sandown Hillside Bm74 2400m. Easier here, looks a major player this race.
