SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   19 Jun 2024
 
GOING: S

Stow Storage Solutions Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

Moderate tempo with Surprise Valley leading the way. Tough race. SOMEBODYTOLOVE (9) has been okay in two runs back from a spell and should be ready to peak now. She's got upside and showed talent last time in. Ready to peak now and draws well. SUBRISING (2) was a BM64 winner two back before working home well for 3rd, beaten under a length last start at Caulfield. Only has to hold that form to go close. PACIFIC CROSS (7) was better last start and looks ready to win now. HEART OF VENICE (6) has upside and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Somebodytolove on top.
