Sale Race 9 - Sportsbet Feed (1-2 Wins) (275+Rank)

SOMETHING DARK (5) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 435m (25.01). Has ability and looks hard to stop. DODGING SHADOWS (1) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, paving the way for a 2.75 lengths win at Warragul over 400m in 22.90. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Will go close again if runs up to latest. VIENNA STORM (3) drifted back settling but did best work late to finish 4th at this track over 435m (25.08). Likely to play a prominent role. PERSIAN SPIRIT (2) warrants respect although new to this track.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warragul over 400m in 22.90 last start, beating Gotham Sorceress. Likes the rails so ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.
