SANDOWN-LAKESIDE   10 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

Sportsbet Fixed Odds Exotics Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Just a moderate tempo headed by Amber Star, Fiasco Tess and Northwood Vamoose. KATSUMI OROCHI (9) is a lightly raced type who has been tested in some handy races to date. He found Listed company at Flemington out of his depth two back but ran well in a good race at Cranbourne last time and should relish getting to 1600m now. DARKBONEE (8) is the danger. His return at Warrnambool was very good when just finding one better over 1400m having won easily second up last time in. His run over this trip at Flemington before a spell behind Taken is excellent form for this. LEGEND BEAST (4) has been okay in two runs back from a spell, not far away in BM78 company at Moe last time. Peaks now and can prove hard to hold out. ONLYGOLDWILLDO (10) ran well fresh at Geelong over a touch shorter with improvement to come. Tricky draw but will be fitter and has each-way claims. FIASCO TESS (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Katsumi Orochi on top.
