SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   18 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

Senet Gambling Law Experts Handicap 2400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. JENNIVAMOOSE (12) caught the eye with an excellent return here over 1800m, off more than a year-long spell. She drew wide and was taken back to last before charging home into third, beaten under a length. Goes quickly to 2400m but that's no issue with the Maher stable and gets the golden switch into barrier three. BLUESTONE (6) is a progressive stayer who was a touch disappointing as $2.50 favourite at Sandown Lakeside last time, struggling to make inroads on an all-the-way winner. He can improve again here in a race with more tempo. TRAPALANDA (7) is a lightly raced stayer coming off a solid win at Warwick Farm over 2200m. Can continue to progress and should measure right up. REALIKA (16) is coming along nicely off a good win last time and the extra trip should be in her favour. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Jennivamoose & Bluestone.
