SANDOWN-LAKESIDE   10 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

Sportsbet More Places Handicap 1400m

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

Genuine tempo with Porter leading the way. STEALTH OF NIGHT (16) is a lightly raced 5yo mare who just missed at Cranbourne first up, settling handy and going down by a nose in a tough effort. She should strip fitter for that second up rising to 1400m and with even luck early from a slightly tricky gate she'll go close. ZOURAIN (3) was a good winner second up at Pakenham on tough ground, winning with 61.5kg. He can be fitter again and measure up. SIRIUS STATEMENT (7) tried hard fresh behind a talented horse at Pakenham and should strip fitter. She draws well and has each-way claims. WATERSPORTS (19) was in the money last start when second at Seymour over 1300m. Appeals as a top-three chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stealth Of Night to win.
