SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   18 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Feed Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 12m Entire Circuit.  

Strong early tempo with Martial Music driving forward from an outside gate and Not Surprised also pushing ahead. LANDMARK (7) looks clearly the horse to beat here. He's off a 60-day let up here having chased home First Settler at Flemington in a pair of strong 2yo races. That horse ran second to Growing Empire on Saturday which looks Group 1 3yo form. MANTUA (6) is racing well, a dominant winner two back at Cranbourne before a close-up defeat as an odds-on favourite at Bendigo. Maps well and will take some beating. NOT SURPRISED (14) resumes. She won well on debut at Sunshine Coast Poly before tackling a good Listed race, not disgraced in sixth. Can figure here. SON OF ZORRO (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Landmark.
