Races MR Sandown - HILLSIDE

Disappointed after finding a nice seat on the pace 5.4L Golden Mile Listed over 1600m. Applied pressure to the leader but was under the pump to hold position 4.5L at Caulfield Bm100 over 1440m Soft 7. Nicely placed by trainer here.

Beaten for speed and never came into contention 6L at Flemington Bm100 over 1400m. Always chasing after settling back and passed a few tired ones late 2L at Caulfield Bm100 over 1440m Soft 7. Nicely placed by trainer here.

Restrained back to midfield always under the pump to run on 4.4L at Eagle Farm Hcp over 1200m Soft 6. One-paced to the line and always well back 8.3L at Bendigo Bm84 over 1100m. Has won second-up previously.

Weakened out of the race after doing a lot of chasing 3.2L at Caulfield Bm78 over 1200m. Strong finish from middle of the pack but couldn't close the gap on the leaders 0.9L at Bendigo Bm84 over 1300m.

Found a nice spot behind the speed but did little late at Flemington over 1600m. Poised to go at the 400m but had little to offer. Second-up winner, drawn well, strips fitter and can bounce back with a claimer aboard.

Restrained back to midfield always under the pump to run on 45.3L at Morphettville Bm82 over 1600m. No match for rivals and was always out the back chasing 5.5L City Adelaide Listed over 1529m Soft 6. Likely to benefit from the drop in grade.

Pressed on to lead but under pressure to hold position in the Sportsbet Oakbank Vintage at Oakbank. Had the right trail and powered home strongly for a good win at Warrnambool over 1400m. Proven here and handles all conditions.

Settled on the pace and had chance to win but settled for second 0.1L at Terang Bm78 over 1200m Heavy 10. Traveled forward in the running and laboured when it mattered fourth 4.3L at Warrnambool Hcp over 1400m Heavy 10. Has a history of running well at this track/distance.

Went forward to challenge, weakening noticeably in the straight 7.3L at Caulfield Bm96 over 1200m. No match for rivals and never progressed into the race from midfield 2.7L at Caulfield Bm84 over 1400m.

Excellent effort to get the upper hand on the line to win after leading 0.8L at Flemington Nmw over 1600m. Settled behind the leaders and few excuses fighting on for fifth 6L at Flemington Vg Reef over 1600m. Is a first-up winner.

Went forward to sit just off the leaders but served up a below par finish 3.5L at Caulfield Bm70 over 1200m. Finished alongside the placegetters when out of luck 0.5L at Bendigo Bm84 over 1300m.

Just off the speed to contend but was easily defeated once asked for the effort 7.5L at Southside Cranbourne Bm84 over 2025m. Restrained back to midfield always under the pump to run on 6.9L at Ballarat Bm84 over 2000m Soft 6. Is a first-up winner.

Superb effort for third after getting a long way back under pressure at Flemington. Made ground from well back over 1400m there. Unlucky last start and can finish over the top late sitting off the speed. Top chance.

Ridden just off the pace and was unlucky not to have won when second 0.2L at Warwick Farm Bm78 over 1400m Soft 5. Never looked a serious threat but did get going late 3.5L at Warrnambool Bm78 over 1100m Heavy 10. A winner second-up in the past, must regard.

Found one better over the concluding stages after going forward 0.5L at Mornington Bm78 over 1200m. Went forward to challenge, weakening noticeably in the straight 4.3L at Bendigo Bm84 over 1300m.

Never in contention after settling a long way back 3.3L Belle Turf Group 3 over 1600m. Saved best part of the race until very late 1.5L at Royal Randwick F&M Bm78 over 1200m. Has tremendous stats second-up.

Held off rivals for a soft win 1.8L at Sale Bm62 over 1206m. Positioned behind the front-runners and fought off challengers to win 0.5L at Bendigo Bm70 over 1300m.

Excellent effort to come from midfield and win with style 0.4L at Caulfield Bm70 over 1200m. Showed best work over concluding stages after getting well back, unlucky fifth 0.9L at Bendigo Bm84 over 1300m.

Ran on well from midfield to gain second showing good form 2L at Caulfield Bm84 over 1400m Soft 6. Trailed just off the pace and looked to have few excuses 53.4L at Hamilton Bm70 over 1600m Soft 5. Has won first-up, consider.

Hard ridden to make ground but ultimately settled too far back 4L at Caulfield Bm78 over 1200m. Had a tough task from the start and never a danger beaten 3.9L at Bendigo Bm84 over 1300m.
