Races MR Sandown - HILLSIDE

Made no headway on the leaders when sixth after sitting midfield at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside. A long way back with 400m to go and did pass a few late into sixth at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside. Gets in well at the weights with the claim.

Showed pace to sit with the leaders, fought hard but tired quickly 2.8L at Morphettville Parks Bm74 over 1400m. Led, gave everything to hold on however found one better finishing second 1L at Seymour Bm64 over 1200m Soft 6. Second-up.

Sat just off the pace however couldn't go with the leaders fifth 4.9L at The Valley Bm70 over 1200m Soft 7. Did pass a few tired horses but ultimately left run too late 5.4L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm66 over 1000m. Is a second-up winner.

Nice run when runner-up despite winner being too strong late 2.8L at Southside Pakenham Bm70 over 1200m Synthetic. Made up some ground from midfield in a grinding effort 2.6L at Southside Pakenham Bm78 over 1200m Synthetic. Down in grade here so don't dismiss.

Fifth 7L at Curragh 2Y Mdn Sw over 1408m. Comfortable winner 2.8L at Curragh 2Y Mdn over 1609m Soft.

Just off midfield, out sprinted, kept on grinding 5.7L at The Valley 3Y Hcp over 1200m Heavy 8. Didn't come into the race after settling midfield 5.6L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm66 over 1000m. Second-up.

Travelled first half, kept trying, good effort 4.3L at Mornington 3Y-Swp over 1600m. Nice effort for fourth when running on late 4.4L at Morphettville Parks Cl2 over 1250m. A winner second-up in the past, must regard.

Drifted back, showed best work late, sound run 3L at Caulfield 3Y Hcp over 1400m. Too far back in the running to be a serious threat 7.8L at Flemington 3Y Hcp over 1400m Soft 7.

Top effort to fly home to just miss a place from a hopeless position early 0.7L at Flemington 3Y-Qlty over 2000m. Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers 5.3L at Flemington 3Y Hcp over 2500m Soft 5.

Toyed with rivals once found the front in what was a quality winning performance at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside. Set the tone leading at the 400m but couldn't go with the winner at Flemington. Could be hard to run down first-up.

Led and kicked clear for nice win 1.8L at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside. Back, no influence 10.1L Mcneil Group 3. Should appreciate the drop back in class.

Ran on well and looked a winning chance but was edged out for third position 2.3L at Pakenham Bm64 over 2200m Synthetic. Stalked the speed, under the whip to make ground struggling into fifth 6.7L at Pakenham Bm58 over 2200m Synthetic.
