Sandown Race 4 - Thoroughbred Club Of Australia (Bm70)
NO FUSS (7) is a lightly raced four-year-old who resumed from a spell with a big win here over 1300m, settling a long way back and charging home to score narrowly. He's bred to stay a trip so getting to 1500m will suit much better and with natural improvement he can win again. DIVINE THOUGHTS (10) ran a good race fresh at Pakenham, getting a soft lead and sticking on for a narrow third. That should be a nice platform to improve second up and Shinn going on is a huge positive. LIBERAMI (5) hit the line well here last time out behind the very promising King Zephyr, albeit no match for that horse. Expecting that form to hold up nicely. CORONA LAD (3) was good fresh at Wangaratta in a decent BM70. Fitter for a suitable rise in trip and this looks a similar level of race. FUTURE FUND (8) is coming through some NSW Country Championship qualifiers and could run a cheeky race.

Last start got back early 3rd in a small field at Cranbourne Bm70 on March 14 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Hughes with 60kg at $16. Before that got back early 7th of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 on February 19 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Charisse with 60kg at $13. Will not find this easy. Going okay, not hopeless.

At the latest run from last on the turn second last of 9 at Morphettville Parks 4yo+ Bm68 on March 1 over 1400m, 2 len behind Makalu carrying 60kg at $9.50.

Useful gelding. Most recently came from the tail of the field 2nd of 11 at this track Bm64 on March 5 over 1300m, 2.25 len behind King Zephyr carrying 62kg at $10. The race before that got back early 5th of 7 at Caulfield Bm74 on February 8 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Unthinkable with 57kg at $4.20. Strong late last start, hard to hold out.

Second-up. First-up after four months rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 9 at Pakenham Bm64 on March 6 over 1400m, nose behind Oceans Above carrying 57.5kg at $3.90. Previously second-up 3rd of 14 at Sale Mdn-Sw on August 22 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.6 len behind Dougal McKeen with 57.5kg at $5. Fitter now and should take catching.
