Sandown Hillside
Race 3 – 1:35pm – F&M BM70 1600m
#1 Starspangled Baby – 0.75u ($7 SB – cutoff $5)
Resumed over short of her best and the very slow tempo was well against. Couldn’t sprint with them, but grinded away and her L200m was the 2nd F OTR. Should park outside The Marg Factor and it will be more genuinely run, which suits.
Race 8 – 4:30pm – BM84 1300m
#11 Watadeel – 1u ($4.20 Lads/Neds – cutoff $3.80)
Much deeper than last start, but gets good weight relief and he did produce the fastest closing splits of the day. Stacks of upside, form around him good.
Balaklava
Race 7 – 4:10pm AEST – BM56 1050m
#11 Looks Like A Lady – 0.4u ($11 Lads/Neds – cutoff $7.90)
No public work but claims down and FUP last prep over 1100m ran a number that wins this.
