Sandown Race 1 - Sportsbet Jockey Watch Mdn Plate
KAYE JAY (6) ran a strong race on debut at Cranbourne over 1400m, getting home well to be beaten under a length in second. He should relish the rise to 1600m now and while the draw isn't ideal, his natural upside should see him very hard to hold out. NIGHTOWL (1) makes his Australian debut. He was knocking on the door in New Zealand prior to a let-up, finishing second in his past three outings. Have to respect him. MIKE'S HOPE (7) was well backed on debut at Cranbourne, sent out as a $3.40 chance and battled on fairly well for third. He should be better for that and Lane goes aboard now. TRYST AND DOUBT (9) stuck on well on debut at Geelong when beaten narrowly into third. Up in trip looks okay, he should in this for a long way. KIRKHOEPASSE (13) ran a solid race on debut at Cranbourne and should progress.

Second-up. First-up after four months 5th of 8 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on January 22 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Phineas carrying 59.5kg at $19. Previously second-up eased back early on 9th of 13 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on August 10 over 1200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Gold Medallist with 59.5kg at $6.50. Possible improver at odds.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 5th of 9 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on December 31 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Bonfire Jimmy with 58kg at $14. Second-up 3rd of 11 at Camperdown Mdn-Sw on January 17 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Sakakibara with 58kg at $4. Likely to find this a bit tougher so looking to others.

Most recently 10th of 12 at Geelong F&M Mdn-Sw on January 20 over 1525m, 13 len behind Missy Aggravation with 58kg at $101. The start before that settled back and ran on when 8th of 10 at Colac Mdn-Sw on January 6 over 1610m, 8 len behind Chantra carrying 57.5kg at $51. Doesn't make any appeal.
