SANDOWN-LAKESIDE   06 Aug 2025
 
GOING: S

Sportsbet BlackBook Plate 1600m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Zambardo leading the way. TEN WARRIORS (10) has placed in all three runs back from a spell, close up here two back when beaten a neck, finding the line well when quickly up to 1550m at Geelong. Beaten as favourite there but should be at peak fitness here and gets Shinn on to negate the wide draw. SABI STORM (15) was well backed to start at $2.45 on debut at Cranbourne, working home well from midfield for a narrow third placing. He'll be better for that and should prove awfully hard to hold out. LOWESTOFT (12) has placed in both starts to date, good to the line at Geelong when out to 1770m last start. Drawn awkwardly but will be strong late. MARINE GRADE (5) stuck on well out to this trip at Moe last start and maps for every chance trailing the speed. Should be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ten Warriors to win.
