Sandown Race 3

Prize Money: $150,000

Siding with ALEPPO PINE (4) who stuck on well first up at Moonee Valley in a strongly run race, beaten two lengths. He hasn't quite delivered on the early hype after his debut win but this is a nice race for him provided he's sharp enough coming back to 1000m. SHINING SMILE (1) is so consistent but has paid for it with the big weights he has to concede rivals that he probably doesn't have a clear talent edge on. ODESSA (6) is progressing very nicely and can measure up off some provincial form. OLATUNDE (10) good effort last time when he finished just 1.3 lengths away in third over 1200m at Ballarat Synthetic. Will need to improve here but is worth including.

At the latest run 4th of 8 at Flemington in the LR Poseidon Stakes on September 13 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Legacy Bound with 57.5kg at $13. Before that 5th of 7 at Caulfield in the G3 Vain Stks on August 16 over 1100m, slow going 2.5 len behind Jimmy Recard carrying 57kg at $4. Gives them weight but is so honest.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; scored a big 5.5 len win at Ballarat Synthetic Bm62 September 1 over 1000m defeating El Salto carrying 55.5kg at $1.50. The race before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 4 len at Ballarat Synthetic 3yo Mdn-Sw August 11 over 1000m defeating Gisella with 56kg at $1.24. Much harder here but can't write off.
