Sandown Race 2 - Evergreen Turf Handicap
DAGGERS (2) was beaten for the first time last start, which was his first start at 1400m, but he was not beaten far and will be better for that experience. Likely to appreciate firmer footing here, too. DETROIT CITY (3) finished alongside DAGGERS last start at what was his first run after a freshen up so should take great improvement from that. NDOLA (4) was well beaten last start but that was off a setback over a trip short of his best and is much better-suited here. SUGAR COAT (5) rises in grade but has looked a class act in two wins to date. RED SEA (1) brought good form from NZ and probably needs to be forgiven one poor run at what was his first Australian start.

Group 1 placegetter. Second run back. First-up after five months ran last of 8 at Moonee Valley in the LR Mckenzie on September 7 over 1200m, 8 len behind Angel Capital carrying 56kg at $7.50. Previously second-up won by 3.5 len at Matamata 2yo Mdn-Sw March 13 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Montana Bay carrying 57.5kg at $1.90. Good Kiwi form and might pay to forgive last start.

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Flemington in the LR Exford Plate on September 14 over 1400m, slow going 1.1 len behind Dawn Service with 57.5kg at $2.90. The start before that favourite; won by 1.75 len at Moonee Valley 3yo C&G-Swp August 24 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Stoli Bolli carrying 56kg at $2.80. Had his unbeaten run halted last start but can bounce back here.

Most recently 7th of 10 at Flemington in the LR Poseidon Stakes on September 14 over 1100m, slow going 5.5 len behind Growing Empire with 56kg at $8.50. The start before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 2.25 len at Sandown-Lakeside Bm64 August 14 over 1200m defeating Pieris carrying 60kg at $2. Gets to a more suitable distance here and can win.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. When well in the market on debut, favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw August 30 over 1100m defeating Ahha Ahha carrying 57kg at $3.30. Last time out favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.75 len at Seymour 3yo Bm64 September 15 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Salsa Fellow with 59.5kg at $2.10. Toughest test to date but has brilliant in two wins and can measure up.

Most recently favourite; won by 2.25 len at Tatura Mdn-Sw September 10 over 1450m defeating Great Notes carrying 57kg at $1.70. The run before that 5th of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn-Sw on August 21 over 1500m, 1.2 len behind Stylish Secret carrying 57kg at $6. Last-start winner but may find this a bit rich.
