SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   19 Jun 2024
 
GOING: S

Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives Handicap 2400m

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

Expecting Havisham to bounce to the lead from a low draw. FIRE GLO TOO (4) has been good in two runs back and looks set to peak third-up out to this trip. He wasn't given the best ride over 2100m at Sandown Lakeside when given too much to do late but the bigger field and track, and senior jockey Michael Dee on board all should help. GOLDENSTATEWARRIOR (2) won the Lakeside lead up and is still relatively lightly raced. Drawn wider here but with any luck he'll go close again. MATHEW (1) is coming off an easy win over 2000m at Cranbourne and should only be fitter. Hard to hold out. MARTIAL EAGLE (14) hasn't been far away of late and is in the mix. GALILAEUS (17) resumes and is worth keeping an eye on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fire Glo Too each-way.
