SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   12 Mar 2025
 
GOING: S

Evergreen Turf Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Marilyn's Edge taking charge. Tough race. MCKEYLA (5) is racing well, beaten under two lengths in a stronger three-year-old race at Flemington behind the smart Scillato last time out. This is easier and she should be very hard to hold out. FULLY CALCULATED (2) ran well fresh at Sale when just finding one better. Should be better for that and can get into a nice trailing role. FLUENT (6) resumes. She won on debut at Ballarat Synthetic before tackling two stronger races. She's won a trial easily leading in and must be respected. LOAFER (3) is going well and is an each-way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mckeyla to win.
