Sandown Race 4 - Ecycle Solutions Crisp Stpl

The Grand National may be the 'feature' but I daresay most punters are looking forward to this clash in the Crisp Steeple even more. STERN IDOL (1) is seeking a record fourth win in this race having won by 25L, 10L and 15L in his three victories. Ignore the flat run last time but SING FOR PEACE (2) did clearly have STERN IDOL's measure here over 3900m in the Australian Chase prior. STERN IDOL had to lug a whopping 76.5kg there and now meets SING FOR PEACE 9.5kg better off at the weights. SING FOR PEACE is very good but we'll back STERN IDOL to turn the tables under these conditions in what could be his farewell race. HIT THE ROAD JACK (4) is an interesting threat on resumption. He hasn't raced since finishing second in the Grand Annual over 5500m at The Bool. STERN IDOL has typically had his measure over this sort of trip but he's right in the mix. MR LINCOLN (5) best of the rest along with THE MIGHTY SPAR (3).

Impressive in recent runs. Freshened for 35 days. Last start finished third in a small field at Warrnambool Thackeray Chase on June 28 over 3450m, on a wet track; 14 len behind Golden Garden with 69kg at $11. The run before finished second in a small field at Warrnambool Chase on June 14 over 3450m, on rain affected going; 2.25 len behind Bazini with 74kg at $1.80. Going okay, his best would be competitive.

Last outing finished second of 8 runners at Coleraine Chase on July 19 over 3600m, on slow going 2.5 len behind Lucky Chance with 65kg at $8.50. Start before finished fourth of 10 runners at Hamilton Mdn Chase on July 12 over 3400m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Ongatiti carrying 67.5kg at $21. Only has minor claims. Would need a career peak.
