Sandown Race 4 - Sportsbet Race Replays (Bm70)
I AM VELVET (4) resumes off a promising fourth in the Group 3 Blue Sapphire Stakes, and has won 3/6 overall and 2/3 fresh. She's looked sharp at the jumpouts and Williams sticks from the latest. Has superior peaks and is ready to rumble. HAPPY LINK (6) resumes and seeks the hat-trick off an impressive win on the Hillside at 64 level. She's placed 2/2 first-up and has been fitted with three jumpouts. Shinn replaces Williams, and a bold return is likely. CHANGING COLOURS (5) was spelled off an easy win at The Heath at this level and has warmed up with two jumpouts. x2 winning rider Lane sticks from the latest, and that's a decent push for her chances. Draws well and goes fresh. MADAM INSTRIFE (7) switched from the Hawkes yard and was disappointing on the Hillside first up, when well supported. She'd been backed off the map winning a Canterbury Maiden prior and will appreciate the step-up in distance. Brown steers from a low barrier, and quick improvement is likely.
