Sandown Race 1 - Sportsbet Jockey Watch Hcp
Tough opener with a few smart looking ones on debut. SEMANTICS (11) is one of those, a filly by Exceed And Excel for the Freedman yard who kicks off. She's been prepping up in Sydney, winning a Randwick barrier trial impressively before doing the same down here at Caulfield Heath. Draws the inside and should kick up to take catching. HOME INVASION (2) drifted in the betting but proved too speedy at Bendigo first up having run a good race in the G3 Gimcrack on debut. She can strip fitter and prove very hard to catch again. Wary of NICCTINI (8), a filly by Nicconi on debut for the McEvoy yard. She looked sharp winning a recent trial and the stable are going well with their 2yo's. NIGHTINGALE LASS (9) is a filly by Farnan on debut for the Dale yard who bolted in with a recent trial at Goulburn. Tough ask against the big stables here but she looks very quick. FORBIDDEN DESIRE (5) has been solid in two runs back and is in the mix.

Second run back. First-up after four months won by 1.5 len at Warrnambool V Gold Strike May 5 over 1000m in heavy going defeating Unkechaug carrying 57kg at $3.40. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Geelong Geelong Diamond on January 3 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Moana Spirit with 55kg at $12. Could go on with it here.

Third race start. First start 3rd of 7 at Canberra 2yo Hcp on December 28 over 1000m, 5 len behind Bar Jester carrying 56kg at $8. Returned from break favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at Moruya Mdn-Sw May 10 over 920m defeating Won For Vicki with 55kg at $2.60. Nice sort but this is a tough ask.
