Sandown Race 3 - Sportsbet Blackbook (Bm64)
SOMETHINGS BURNIN' (1) was an impressive winner first up at Sandown Lakeside on tough ground, coming from off pace between them to score a decisive win. Has to give these a bit of weight but 1300m suits and he did beat a strong maiden field there. TOLAGA BAY (6) resumes having won narrowly on debut at Ballarat in a handy maiden. Since tipped out, wary of any support first up. GREENWICH BOY (3) looked good winning on debut at Geelong with good form in behind. He sets up well here from the low gate and will be very hard to run down again. CRUDENS TYCOON (2) was a narrow winner on debut at Pakenham Synthetic and can measure up.

Second-up. First-up after five months won by 1.0 len at Sandown-Lakeside on August 19 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Zambales carrying 58kg at $10. Previously second-up 11th of 13 in a G3 The TL Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill on March 28 over 1400m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Southend with 55.5kg at $41. Big win fresh and will be very hard to hold out again.

Claiming his maiden victory on debut; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at Geelong on August 14 over 1225m in heavy going defeating Keen Observer with 58kg at $5. Shows promise and should measure up again.
