Sandown Race 3 - Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives (Bm78)
Good race and XARPO (2) is well fancied to make it 2/2 this campaign, winning very well first up at Caulfield Heath over 1200m, sent out favourite and coming right away for a 1.5 length victory. She'll only be better suited to 1400m now and should take plenty of holding out again. Very wary of TEST OF LOVE (1) who has won both this time in for the Hayes yard, formerly in Hong Kong. He was dominant here last time and will likely settle in front of XARPO which is key. EVERAIN (3) is a nice type who won well fresh, good to the line as favourite second up. Back to 1400m here can suit. WISE INLAW (7) ran a solid race fresh in G3 company and looks better placed here having placed behind Vinrock & West Of Swindon over 1400m last time in. EM SIXTY (5) resumes having progressed very well last time in. Respecting.

Second-up. First-up after five months favourite; won by 1.5 len at Caulfield Heath F&M Bm74 February 18 over 1200m defeating Conscience with 59.5kg at $2.25. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at Caulfield 3yo F Hcp on July 12 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Illyivy carrying 53kg at $2.90. Even better suited to this trip and rates highly.

Second run back. First-up after four months 4th of 7 at Caulfield in the G3 Zeditave on February 21 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Pallaton carrying 56kg at $20. Previously second-up won by 2.75 len at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw August 12 over 1200m in soft going defeating Alesund with 55.5kg at $1.60. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.
