Races MR Sandown - HILLSIDE

Fought hard over the final stages for third after sitting behind leaders 0.8L at Seymour Mdn-Sw over 1000m. Nice run for second despite winner being too strong late 3.5L at Stony Creek 3Y Mdn-Sw over 1100m.

Had few excuses after finding a nice trail midfield 4.3L at Moe 3Y Mdn-Sw over 1100m.

Same sire as recent G1 T J Smith Stakes winner I Wish I Win and star mare Atishu.

Sat behind the leaders and didn't go down without a fight when fourth 2.5L at Mornington Mdn-Sw over 1000m. Applied pressure to the leader but had nothing left at the finish, fifth 2.8L at Tatura 3Y Mdn-Sw over 1100m.

Settled behind the leaders and few excuses fighting on for fifth 7.6L at Yarra Valley 3Yf Mdn-Sw over 1209m.

Brave run after going forward in transit, when third 3L at Sandown Hillside 3Y Mdn-Sw. Nicely positioned to come into the race as winning chance but beaten into third 1.8L at Geelong 3Yf Mdn-Sw over 1440m. Looks primed to run well fresh.

Ran on well and looked a winning chance but was edged out for third position 2.6L at Horsham 3Y Mdn-Sw over 1100m. Held position to the line when second after settling up with the leaders 4.3L at Colac Mdn-Sw over 1210m. Has race fitness.

Disappointed after finding a nice seat on the pace 9.5L at Ballarat 3Yf Mdn-Sw over 1200m. Recent jump-out form looks promising.

Made no impression after getting back worse than midfield 3.2L at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside 3Y Mdn-Sw over 1000m.

Sire a dual G1 winner of the VRC Coolmore Stud and ATC Golden Rose Stakes. His best progeny include Sunlight, Joliestar and Ozzmosis. Weakened in the straight and always had an uphill battle to challenge 4.5L at Royal Randwick 2Y-Bt 11thJul2025 over 742m Soft 6.

Settled worse than midfield and from that point struggled into sixth 3.7L at Sandown Lakeside 3Y Mdn-Sw over 1200m. Applied pressure to the leader but was under the pump to hold position 12.5L at Yarra Valley 3Yf Mdn-Sw over 1209m.
