Sandown Race 2

Tile Importer Hcp

Stake: $54,000

OBSERVER (1) should have taken plenty of benefit from a strong debut at Pakenham over 1200m when boxing on nicely for second. He's by Ghaiyyath who was a top class 2400m horse and the way he raced suggests the rise to 1400m will suit. Can roll forward and go one better. WENTWORTH FALLS (7) wasn't beaten far in a good race at Hawkesbury last time out on wet ground. That form should hold up well here. FIERCE FIGHTER (5) worked home okay over a shorter trip on debut at Sale and will improve up in trip. Did enough there to suggest he's a winning chance. THUNDERBOLT WAY (6) was well beaten on debut at Flemington but wasn't terrible and this is easier. Can do better. BLUE ENSIGN (4) perhaps next best.

Was at very long odds at debut, second last of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo Hcp on May 21 over 1000m, 6 len behind Samudra with 58kg at $201. Can do better. Possible improver at odds.

At debut, 6th of 11 at Sale Mdn-Sw on May 18 over 1112m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Maingirlmaddy carrying 57kg at $8. Can do better. Will take a lot from that hitout and shapes as one to consider.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, got back early 9th of 12 at Flemington 2yo Hcp on May 17 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Highvol with 55.5kg at $101. This is easier, can improve.

Comes off a 32 day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 12 at Hawkesbury Clarendon on May 3 over 1400m, in the wet; 3 len behind Aerodrome with 55.5kg at $8.50. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 9 at Kembla Grange Super 2yo Mdn on April 19 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Just A Journey carrying 57.5kg at $16. Brings the right form to this.
