Sandown Race 1 - Sportsbet Blackbook Mdn Plate
BLUE SHIELD (2) finds the ideal race. He's placed in all four runs to date, beaten under a length two back at Mornington before proving no match for a dominant winner in fast time at Cranbourne. Don't think there's as much opposition here, he really should be breaking through. HERE'S MATILDA (11) is a filly by Shamus Award on debut for the Maher yard who has jumped out well at Cranbourne and draws for a good run, respecting. GALACTIC GIRL (10) can improve off an even run first up at Echuca which was on bottomless ground. The debut last time in was solid form. DIAMOND EYE (9) got home well fresh to place at big odds and comes under consideration now. MONOLITHIC (6) improved nicely from his debut and can do so again.

Racing well recently. At the latest run led but faded 2nd of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on June 21 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 4 len behind Queen Peta with 59.5kg at $1.85. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at Mornington 3yo Mdn-Sw on June 8 over 1200m, on heavy track; 0.8 len behind Upolu carrying 58kg at $2.80. Knocking on the door and rates as the one to catch.
