Sandown Race 1

The Valley @ Sandown Hcp

Stake: $180,000

Keen to side with VALLICE (6) in the opener who presents second up off a short break. He was a good winner over this trip before that break and caught the eye first up at Caulfield Heath over 1200m, coming from last to get within a length of the winner. Should come on nicely up in trip and Zahra goes on now. JUDAS TREE (8) is tricky given he's nearly five weeks between runs, going up in trip for a first go at 1400m. That said, he looks promising and beat all bar American Eagle last time with COMMIT running into third. HYDROBOMB (2) resumes. He last tackled a stakes race in Sydney over a mile and was very well backed that day. The win prior over this trip was good from a long way back. Double figures looks generous. COMMIT (5) had every hope last time but ran well, not sure he's crying out for more ground but his run behind JUDAS TREE was good which ties in.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 in a 3yo Hcp at Caulfield Heath on August 8 over 1200m, on a slow track; head behind Stakes carrying 53kg at $3.70. The start before that 3rd of 8 in a 2yo Hcp at this track on July 15 over 1200m, on heavy track; 1.2 len behind American Eagle with 59kg at $5. Had chance latest but is going well, right in this.

Second run back. First-up after two months came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 in a 3yo Hcp at Caulfield Heath on August 8 over 1200m, slow going 0.9 len behind Stakes with 53.5kg at $7.50. Previously second-up won by 1.0 len at Sandown-Lakeside on June 3 over 1400m on a heavy track defeating Meness carrying 55.5kg at $6. Nice return and should go close up in trip.

Raced twice to date. At debut, raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Sale on July 9 over 1213m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Kosei Top with 58kg at $8.50. Second-up favourite; came from midfield and won by 2.25 len at Wodonga on July 26 over 1200m on a heavy track defeating Tauto Bar with 58.5kg at $2.45. Much tougher now, place best.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at Ballarat Synthetic on July 2 over 1200m defeating Oman with 58kg at $1.80. Second-up rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 in a 2yo Hcp at this track on July 15 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 0.8 len behind American Eagle carrying 59kg at $2.80. Capable of a better showing. Off a freshen but will give a sight.
