Sandown Race 1 - Sportsbet Racing Form Mdn Plate
PUGLIA (8) resumes for her second preparation having just found one better in all three starts last time in. Draws well for the return and can be an improver this time in. THE MUFFIN MAN (3) wasn't far away fresh at this track over 1300m when third. Fitter for that and can land in a perfect spot from the soft gate. THINXZO (4) is knocking on the door in his first campaign, beaten half a length at Bendigo over this trip last time out. Damian Lane takes the ride and should give him every hope. KISSED EARTH (5) ran a solid race fresh at Pakenham and will be fitter. She should get a nice trail behind the speed and is in the mix. BLINDEDBYTHELIGHT (7) is a filly by Shamus Award on debut who must be respected with Shinn aboard.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Saxon Warrior out of Argemone. Won a jump-out at Cranbourne on March 10. Aided by a nice alley so well worth keeping safe first time out.

Recent form sound. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 13 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Sandwina with 59kg at $3.60. The start before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Colac 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 7 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Red Line Fever carrying 58kg at $8.50. Capable of taking this out.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 3rd of 9 at Pakenham F&M Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Vivacissimo with 58kg at $6.50. Previously second-up made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track Mdn on July 3 over 1600m, slow going 0.9 len behind Boom Bang with 57.5kg at $6.50. Likely to hold the good form and play a major role again.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, 7th of 11 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on February 15 over 1300m, 2.75 len behind Handsome Devil carrying 57.5kg at $61. Last start 4th of 13 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1400m, 1.4 len behind Sandwina carrying 57.5kg at $21. Thereabouts last time but looks safely held.

Filly by Shamus Award facing the starter for the first time. Recent trial form has been pretty solid. Ran 3rd in a jump-out at Pakenham on February 25. Looks a capable type and should be competitive.
