Sandown Race 5 - Vale Weekend Hussler (Bm64)
Competitive. ATTAIN (1) quickly returned to the winner's circle, delivering a Cranbourne 70 and spiking his figures. Comes back in grade with a handy 3kg claim. He will position forward from the inside barrier and get every chance. PRIMAL SPIRIT (2) led and just missed the hat-trick at Pakenham at this level. The shorter sprint will suit, and he can control the race from the soft draw. Lane replaces the 2kg apprentice, and that's a decent push for his chances. FLYING MEAN (7) is an improver presenting off an impressive Maiden win at Pakenham, heavily bet. He's won a Cranbourne jumpout since, and Ben Melham continues his association. Has to be considered. FIGLIO D'ARGENTO (4) is lightly raced and heading in the right direction. He's been racing in better company, and Williams sticks aboard. CATAHOULA (6) resumes with Shinn booked, and she's been sharp at the jumpouts. The late betting will be key.

Useful gelding. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a long-neck at Cranbourne Bm70 March 28 over 1200m defeating Roadcone carrying 55.5kg at $3.10. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Pakenham Bm64 on March 20 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Big Swinger carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. Capable of making it two on the trot.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at Pakenham Bm64 on March 27 over 1400m, 0.9 len behind Peel The Stickers carrying 60kg at $6.50. Before that won by 2.25 len at Cranbourne Bm58 March 14 over 1200m defeating Hot Pursuit with 61kg at $5.50. Thereabouts last time out. Sound top-three prospects again.

Second run back. First-up after five months 5th of 8 at Flemington 3yo Hcp on March 8 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Mystic Reign with 54.5kg at $11. Previously second-up second last of 10 at Caulfield 3yo C&G-Swp on October 19 over 1400m, on a wet track; 24 len behind Getafix carrying 56kg at $15. Plenty of improvement to come.

Returns from a 33-day let-up. Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.8 len at Ballarat Bm58 March 7 over 1200m defeating Fugacity with 60kg at $5. The run before that 4th of 9 at Pakenham Bm64 on February 13 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind King Zephyr carrying 57kg at $41. Don't dismiss.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign fifth of 7 at Rosehill F&M Bm78 December 7 over 1300m, in the wet; 9 len behind Lulumon carrying 54kg at $10. Previously first up; fifth of 9 at this track Mares Bm70 August 14 over 1200m, 3 len behind Elba carrying 58.5kg at $12. Keep very safe.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming 3rd of 11 at Sale Mdn-Sw on February 25 over 1010m, slow going head behind British Poet with 59.5kg at $2.05. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 1.75 len at Pakenham 4yo+ Mdn-Sw March 13 over 1200m defeating Stoneage Romeo with 59.5kg at $1.95. Found his best form now. Capable enough and has claims.
