Sandown Race 3 - Mrc Foundation National Apprentice Race Series (Bm66)
Siding with OTAGO (1) who looks much better placed coming back to 1600m here having struggled when last seen over 2000m at Flemington and has since been given a let-up. He just missed the race prior over this trip at Pakenham in BM70 company which reads well and we get arguably the best apprentice in this race for apprentices only in Luke Cartwright. ENCHANTED JENNI (3) hasn't fired her past couple and is another to come here fresh. Her form late last year would have her as one of the hardest to beat, look for an improved run. CARDI BEE (7) is coming off an easy win on heavy ground at Pakenham, the margin a bit inflated there given the testing ground but it was dominant all the same. She can go on with it. MOVE THE TORANA (9) is racing well and should be strong at the end of a mile while TORN (5) is in form and the Sir Atlas form from two back reads very nicely.

Comes here off a 60-day let-up. Most recently 12th of 14 at Flemington Bm78 on February 14 over 2000m, 7 len behind Tarvue with 56.5kg at $21. The run before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Pakenham Bm70 on January 29 over 1600m, long-neck behind Mometz carrying 60.5kg at $3.50. Very well placed this level and back in trip.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 5th of 11 at Warrnambool Bm62 on March 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Damas carrying 61.5kg at $31. Second-up came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.8 len at Stawell Bm62 April 5 over 1600m defeating It's All Calm carrying 61kg at $11. Risking this one.

Second-up. First-up after four months eased back early on 6th of 11 at Geelong 0 - 66 on April 1 over 1300m, 5.5 len behind Sussex Duchess carrying 60kg at $101. Previously second-up second last of 7 at Canterbury 5yo+ Bm72 on November 14 over 1900m, 6 len behind Chateaux Park carrying 60kg at $6. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

At the latest run came from midfield and won by a long-neck at this track Bm66 April 6 over 1600m defeating Didn't Miss Many with 54.5kg at $41. The start before that took up a position near the tail 2nd of 10 at Echuca 0 - 56 on March 21 over 1618m, 0.5 len behind Prince Pinot with 59kg at $6.50. Have to respect off last start.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 3rd of 7 at Geelong Bm66 on April 1 over 1700m, 1.5 len behind Lario with 56.5kg at $21. The start before that won by a neck at Geelong Bm56 March 22 over 1750m defeating Hey Bella with 59.5kg at $4.40. Racing well and should prove competitive.
