Sandown Race 2 - Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives Hcp
EXIT (9) was well fancied on debut in the Blue Diamond Prelude, was always well back then in traffic throughout when not really tested. Tipped out and given another break but has been jumping out well and leading rider booked. Can get off the mark in this easier company. SAVANNAH CHILL (2) was well in the market on debut on the Lakeside track and after stalking the pace loomed up and fought on bravely to score. Can only be further improved and on the fight showed on debut should feature again. LOPE DE LARDO (1) was solid fresh then off the mark with Williams aboard latest at Geelong. Jockey sticks and will be running on well again. EXPULSION (8) was close-up fresh at Flemington then well held despite finishing third latest. Senior goes aboard and on the city figure two back goes close. LIFE AFTER LOVE (7) was a dogged third over 1000m at Caulfield latest and looks ideally placed out in trip. Last two have been in city class so well suited here.

Second-up favourite; came from midfield and won by a neck at Geelong 2yo Mdn-Sw June 20 over 1212m in soft going defeating Too Much Too Soon carrying 58kg at $3.20. Ran on well to score latest and has good upside.

Claiming her maiden victory on debut; won by 0.5 len at Sandown-Lakeside 2yo F Hcp July 2 over 1300m on a soft track defeating Too Much Too Soon carrying 58kg at $5.50. Strong debut and should prove tough to beat again.

Gelding by Almanzor facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Cranbourne on June 30. Happy to watch unless there is a significant move.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when eased back early on 6th of 8 at Moonee Valley 2yo Hcp on December 28 over 1200m, 7 len behind Field Of Play with 58kg at $20. Resuming in far easier grade and expected to improve out of sight.

Last start 3rd of 12 at Caulfield 2yo Hcp on June 28 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Sonofkirk with 54kg at $71. Before that 8th of 10 at Flemington 2yo Hcp on June 7 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Miss Ole carrying 54kg at $61. Extra trip a plus and won't be far away with a repeat of that latest performance.

Last start 3rd of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on June 22 over 1200m, 6 len behind Bacash carrying 53kg at $4.40. Fitter again and senior rider goes aboard so can improve sharply.
