SANDOWN-LAKESIDE   06 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

Stow Storage Solutions Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Looks a solid tempo with Molly The Magician finding the front. HERE THE CROWD (1) was off 7 weeks going into last start at Sandown Hillside and stuck on well after sitting outside the leader. She had her chance there but should strip fitter and maps for every chance again coming back in trip. HAZEL BABY (2) was just fair in stronger company last time but had been coming along well prior, placing in a BM70 at Sandown Hillside two back. Drawn well and should be right there. MOLLY THE MAGICIAN (9) was far too good for BM58 company at Ballarat Synthetic last time out, leading throughout at short odds. Can measure up again. YACHIYO (7) resumes. She showed plenty of promise last time in, winning a future stars heat at start two, placing in the final. She'll want further but 1400m is a good kickoff and she has won a jumpout leading in. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Here The Crowd to win.
