Races MR Sandown - LAKESIDE

Set the tone leading at the 400m but couldn't go with the winner when fifth 5.7L at Ballarat Bm64 over 1600m Soft 7. Led but no match for the winner after pressure was applied, fifth 3.7L at Ballarat Bm70 over 2200m Synthetic.

Fought on strongly after finding the lead but was caught late when second 0.8L at Sandown Lakeside F&M Bm70. Gave a sight out in front before being reeled in slowly but surely 0.9L at Sandown Lakeside F&M Bm74. Can lead and be hard to pass.

Just off the speed to contend but was easily defeated once asked for the effort 9L at Flemington 3Y Hcp. Settled on pace and proved far too good winning in classy fashion 3L at Warrnambool Bm64. Up in grade and out in trip suits.

Hit the line hard for second despite finding one better on the day 1.5L at Sale Bm64 over 1717m. No match for the winner but did make up late ground into fourth 2.3L at Sandown Lakeside Bm70 over 1600m Soft 5. Can perform second-up.

Failed to make any impression after settling a long way back 6.5L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm70 over 1800m. Loomed as a threat but content with fourth 1.6L at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside F&M Bm74 over 2100m Soft 5.

Gave a great sight out in front but was run down for third 1.6L at Ladbrokes Geelong Mdn-Sw over 1512m Soft 6. Had the right run on the pace and made it count to win narrowly 0.3L at Ladbrokes Geelong Mdn-Sw over 1740m Soft 7.

Got back in the running and always had a tough task ahead 5L at Gosford F&M Bm64 over 1600m Soft 5. Made good progress from back in the field to run fourth 4.4L at Bathurst Bm66 over 1800m.

Didn't come into the race after settling midfield 11.2L at Warrnambool Bm70 over 2350m Soft 6. Top effort to finish the race off well for third after getting too far back 3.1L at Warrnambool Bm64-Hwgt over 1700m Heavy 8.

Did pass a few tired horses but ultimately left run too late 5.1L at Warracknabeal Bm52 over 2000m Soft 5. Had chance to gain victory but finished second after settling on the pace 0.8L at Echuca Bm52 over 1618m Soft 7.
