SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   16 Jul 2025
 
GOING: S

Sportsbet Race Replays Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with Dubai Dancer leading the way. Many of these finished behind Silver Cliff last time but the best weighted of them is SIRIUS STATEMENT (1). Only beaten a couple of lengths but got home hard from the back and meets the winner 2.5kg better. Drawn much better and has three wins at the trip already. Looks hard to hold out. TEN DEEP (8) was runner-up in the same race when boxed on well. Up in weight but Williams aboard and expected to give a sight again. KIRA (13) comes through a different race but looks a big danger to them all. Runner-up at both runs this time in and has a super consistent record. Will be tough to hold out late. MAISY (10) has shown ability and returns from good break. Fitted with two hit-outs and the trip suits fresh. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sirius Statement can turn the tables.
