Sandown Race 8 - Tile Importer (Bm70)
The progressive SHE'S A HUSTLER (9) is third-up seeking the hat-trick off a 64 win on the Hillside. She's been heavily bet and has been kept up to the mark, winning a Cranbourne jumpout. The extra metres will hold no fear, and she's in good hands. LAVALIER (14) went close twice at Stakes level before spelling and has needed the two runs back. The middle distance is ideal now, and Jamie Melham sticks aboard. Sits low in the weights and maps for the run of the race. SUN GOD (1) is a former UK galloper in the Waller yard, and he needed the first-up outing. Has a handy 3kg claim back in grade and will appreciate the step-up in trip. Anticipate a much sharper effort. MONTEPULCIANO (8) is over from Adelaide and is in an astute stable. Maps for a soft run and rates well enough.
