Races MR Sandown - HILLSIDE

Led, challenged but proved the better horse on the day to win 0.3L at Kyneton Kyne Cup over 2006m Heavy 8. Failed to improve on the front runners after settling midfield 2.8L at Warrnambool Hcp over 1700m Heavy 8. Second-up.

One-paced to the line and always well back 4.7L at Flemington Bm78 over 1400m. Super job to make up many lengths from back in the field late for sixth 1.8L at Caulfield Bm84 over 1600m Soft 7.

Soft win after settling behind the leaders in transit at Wangaratta. Positioned well back in transit and flew home for a narrow win at Caulfield. Can win first- up. Classy and if he overcomes the wide draw can be right in the finish.

Well beaten seventh 8.5L at Curragh Hcp over 2011m Soft. Never in the hunt and disappointed over the final half of the race 7.3L at Bendigo Bm84 over 1300m. Second-up.

Never gave backers any joy after slow start 10.3L at Warrnambool Hcp over 1700m Heavy 8. Out-gunned over the final stages after getting back midfield in-running 1L at Caulfield Bm84 over 1600m Soft 7.

Dug deep under pressure for fourth after midfield run at Caulfield before storming home for second over 1600m there. Strong second-up stats, unlucky last start and looks hard to beat here. Top chance.

Looked in need of further after getting a long way out of ground, sixth 5.2L at Aquis Park Gold Coast Mm Trophy over 2200m. Settled a long way back in transit displaying best work very late for sixth 2.7L at Hawkesbury Bm88 over 1400m. Has won second-up previously.

Settled on the pace and had chance to win but out-gunned for second 0.5L at Seymour Bm78 over 1600m Soft 5. Mediocre performance after settling just behind the leaders 4.5L at Warrnambool Hcp over 1700m Heavy 8. Has a history of running well at this track/distance.

Sensational run for third after positioning so far back in the running 3L at Southside Pakenham Bm78 over 2000m. Never a winning chance after slow beginning and did well to steal sixth 5L at Flemington Bm78 over 2000m. Is a first-up winner.

Settled just off the speed and finished strongly to win at Mornington over 1600m before chiming in at the right time for a strong victory at Bendigo. Back at his pet trip chasing a hat-trick and looks a great chance.

Fifth 4.5L at Longchamp 3Y Cond Sw over 1600m. Raced away with a very comfortable win 1.8L at Saint-Cloud 3Y Cond Wfa over 1600m Soft.

Did make up some ground in the straight for sixth but never threatened 3L at Flemington Bm78 over 1400m. Went forward and looked a winning chance before fading late fifth 1.1L at Caulfield Bm84 over 1600m Soft 7.

Displayed best work once the race was already won, fifth 1.7L at The Valley Bm78 over 2040m. One-paced to the line and always well back 4.9L at Flemington Bm78 over 1400m. Can win second-up, consider.

Got past a few horses late for fifth but never a threat from so far back 4.4L at Doomben 3Y Hcp over 1350m Soft 5. Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers 7.7L at Warrnambool Bm70 over 1400m Heavy 9. Won when second-up previously, respect.

Didn't come into the race after settling midfield 4.3L at Mornington Bm78 over 1200m. Went forward to sit just off the leaders but served up a below par finish 3.2L at Caulfield Bm84 over 1600m Soft 7.
