Sandown Race 7 - Ranvet So You Think Stakes
It looks a lovely bit of placement to see EVAPORATE (2) return to the winner's circle. He's been rock solid for a long time without winning, sent forward in the G2 PB Lawrence Stakes first up when a game third to Cosmic Crusader. 1500m here is perfect and he's pitched in under the conditions. Shinn should tag the lead and prove too strong. PINSTRIPED (7) got home strongly for fourth in the Lawrence, less than a length off EVAPORATE who he meets better off at the weights. The problem for him is the draw - it'll be very hard to give EVAPORATE a lead start and run him down. TEN COMMANDMENTS (12) continues to race very well this time in and is rock hard fit but poorly weighted out of a benchmark 100. FREEDOM RALLY (9) bounced back to form with a good win over this route last time. Has claims off that.

First-up. Finished off last campaign fourth of 10 at Eagle Farm in the G2 Brisbane Cup June 13 over 3200m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Alalcance carrying 55.5kg at $10. First up last campaign fifth of 11 at Wangaratta Hcp February 28 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind New York Hurricane with 56.5kg at $7. Prefer to see how he returns.

Second run back. First-up after four months led but faded 3rd of 11 in the G2 PB Lawrence Stakes at Caulfield on August 15 over 1400m, slow going 1.5 len behind Cosmic Crusader with 59kg at $5. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 in a G1 The All-Star Mile at Flemington on March 7 over 1600m, long-neck behind Tom Kitten with 59kg at $12. Good fresh and this is a level easier, rates clear.

First-up. Finished off last campaign by long-neck Eagle Farm G3 Tatt's Cup June 27 over 2400m slow track defeating Pounding carrying 56.5kg at $4.20. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.5 len Randwick G3 Jra Plate April 18 over 2000m defeating You Wahng with 59kg at $16. Handy but imagine others sharper.

Most recently ran second last in a small field in a Hcp at this track on August 22 over 1500m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Freedom Rally with 61kg at $7. Before that sat on the pace before fading to run last of 17 in the LR Glasshouse Hcp at Sunshine Coast on July 4 over 1400m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Arabian Rose with 60kg at $81. Drops in weight and will lead, place perhaps.

Resumes after a break of 12 weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation seventh of 9 at Eagle Farm in the G2 Q22 Wfa June 13 over 2200m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Royal Supremacy carrying 59kg at $5. Previously first up; ninth of 12 at Randwick Bm100 April 18 over 1400m, 4 len behind Captain Furai carrying 58.5kg at $11. Will improve off this but wary, watch betting.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 12 in a Bm100 at Caulfield on August 29 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Fancify with 55.5kg at $5.50. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Caulfield on August 15 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Home Rule carrying 56kg at $3.60. In great form but not nearly as well in here.
