SANDOWN-LAKESIDE   03 Aug 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap 2100m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A pedestrian gallop without a recognised on-pacer engaged. DREAMS COME TRUE (4) gets another chance. She was a dynamic winner first up when flying home from the back, again very good at Sale next time out. She was beaten as favourite here last time and a bit disappointing but getting to 2100m from a good draw now should suit nicely. WHISTLE DOWN (2) led early and gave a strong sight over this track and distance last time out, going down by under a length in the finish. She's racing in fine form and will take plenty of catching again. CHAMPAGNE JENNI (3) was put into the race early at Warrnambool and powered away in the heavy going to score well last start. This has more depth but she's got upside and should measure up well. PERFECT TEN (6) is off a maiden win and could measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dreams Come True to win.
