Top Pick
The Shaper
Dividend : $2.00, $1.40
Won
F: 5X2B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-A & S Freedman )
A lip behind a nice type last time out and that's the best form guide for this race. Should be right in the thick of it.
Main Danger
Nearing Liberty
F: 437XB(1)W(59.0)
( J-Brian Higgins )
( T-Matthew Brown )
Showed glimpses of good form last prep and it could be better for the spell. It gets the inside draw to help.
Next Best
Judge Jenni
F: 4B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
One of the 'Jenni' runners and they have been having great success. Fourth on debut and it could win at generous odds.
Consider
Thunder Hawk
F: 2XB(4)W(57.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Michael Moroney )
Second on debut before spelling. In good hands with Moroney, and a win wouldn't surprise.
Longer Odds
Brandnu Deal
Dividend : $3.60
Place
F: 2X6B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Steve Richards )
Its second on debut reads well, and the odds are better than expected.

Top Pick
Ezeiza
F: 12B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Cliff Brown )
Excellent form to start its career, including a win on debut and a second placing. Inside draw and every chance to win.
Main Danger
Lakota Fire
F: 10X00B(3)W(61.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-M & L Kavanagh )
Its last three starts have been poor, but they came against much harder fields. Shortening odds and it likes the distance.
Next Best
Mount Olympus
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 483X1B(5)W(60.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-T & C McEvoy )
Two wins and two placings from seven starts, and it comes off a trial win at Terang. Should be right in the mix.
Consider
Scorsese
F: 2X261B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Linda Meech )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
A winner at Colac last time out and it has more potential than most. Just needs to learn what this racing game is about.
Longer Odds
Frose
F: 57037B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Tayla Childs )
( T-Jamie Barry )
Likes the distance and dropping in class could pay dividends.

Race 3 - SANDOWN HILLSIDE HANDICAP

Top Pick
Stern Idol
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: P11PXB(8)W(60.5)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
A quality stayer, mostly over the jumps. However, it has been well-backed to win and the odds tell the story.
Main Danger
Border Leicester
F: 41131B(6)W(62.0)
( J-Sheridan Clarke )
( T-Emma-Lee & David Browne )
It already owns three wins this preparation and getting 3kg off its back is ideal. Should be right in the mix.
Next Best
Farag
Dividend : $4.10, $1.60
Won
F: 31611B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Aaron Purcell )
Searching for three consecutive wins after scoring at Bendigo and Warrnambool. Another well-backed runner.
Consider
Stormy Grey
F: 21028B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Jaylah Kennedy )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
Better than what it showed at Sandown last time out and its form earlier this prep was solid. 3kg comes off.
Longer Odds
Wilewink
F: 33542B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Aaron Purcell )
Drops in weight and it's better after two runs this prep. Could show up at odds.
