Sandown Race 5 - Sportsbet Race Replays (Bm74)
CHEST OF GOLD (4) makes the most interest first up from a spell. He's a handy 4yo gelding who was tackling some better races last time in, second at Bendigo when fresh last campaign, eventually winning a strong Class 3 at Cranbourne. He's got good early speed and can give a bold sight. LOUIS BARTHAS (6) is flying having won his past three. He is off a 7-week let-up here and interestingly is now with the Hayes yard (ex-Nick Ryan). Watch the betting. LOVELYCUT (3) had excuses offered last time at Flemington having charged home there for second prior. She's not the most reliable conveyance but the ability is there and she should be rattling home. VIVACISSIMO (8) took an inside run and hit the front but was just edged out late second up at Caulfield Heath off a good run fresh. Should be peaking now and will take holding out. IMPENDING LINK (2) won narrowly fresh and could go on with it.

At the latest run 8th of 11 at Sandown-Hillside Bm84 on May 23 over 1400m, slow going 7 len behind Duchess Zou carrying 56.5kg at $11. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Warrnambool Hcp on May 7 over 1400m, on a wet track; 4.5 len behind Test Of Love carrying 54kg at $3.80. Chance on best but needs another win.

Second-up. First-up after seven months won by a head at Caulfield Heath Bm74 May 20 over 1200m in soft going defeating Ka Ying Cheer carrying 57.5kg at $18. Previously second-up won by a neck at Bendigo Bm70 November 13 2024 over 1400m defeating Catahoula with 60kg at $4. Back in good form and has claims.

Gelding back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign sixth of 8 at Caulfield Heath Bm78 December 20 over 1500m, 3 len behind Roadcone with 57.5kg at $4.20. Previously first up; second of 14 at Bendigo Bm64 August 14 over 1300m, soft track; 0.8 len behind Ti Tree Lad with 59kg at $2.90. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Form last time reads well, go close.

At the latest run rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 10 at Caulfield Heath Bm70 on May 20 over 1500m, on a slow track; head behind Oriental Smoke carrying 59.5kg at $6. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by a head at Ballarat Bm66 May 10 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Gisella carrying 58kg at $4. Should be hard to run down.

On a three run winning streak. Returns from a 49-day let-up. Last start won by 1.75 len at this track Bm70 April 15 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Oak Beach with 58kg at $5.50. The run before that came from midfield and won by a long-neck at Bendigo 0 - 62 March 27 over 1400m defeating Ziggy Starcraft carrying 60kg at $4.80. Flying and should measure up again.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 2nd of 11 at Bendigo Bm70 on May 2 over 1300m, 0.5 len behind Rosa Aotearoa with 58kg at $6.50. Second run from a spell raced on the pace when 3rd of 10 at Caulfield Heath Bm70 on May 20 over 1500m, slow going long-neck behind Oriental Smoke carrying 58.5kg at $3.50. Should take holding out.
