Genuine pace with Lyrics 'N' Song taking up the running ahead of Shamansara and Prevention. Easily race of the day if they all stay in. SHAMANSARA (5) comes back in trip off a brave run at Sandown Hillside, setting up a good pace over 1600m and trying hard in a narrow fourth. Was well backed there off a big maiden win and suspect they'll take a sit here and be strongest late. LYRICS 'N' SONG (3) resumes. Only one run last time in which was solid but she's shown plenty of ability having never missed the placings and has jumped out well. LOFTY THOUGHTS (1) continues to race very well, placing in all three this time in and only going down half a length as favourite at Sale last time out. Rock hard fit and maps well, consider. GODTFRED KIRK (2) is another very consistent sort, had a few chances now but certainly wouldn't shock. TSARINE (6) can do better than an even showing at Sandown Hillside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shamansara to win.
