Sandown Race 5 - Sportsbet Feed (Bm64)
TALES OF TIME (1) resumes. He just missed in the G3 Maribyrnong Plate on debut before easily taking care of a maiden field as the $1.18 favourite when last seen. Profiles as if he'll continue to improve and can win this despite the 61kg impost. JACARANDA (2) just missed last time out in a bunched finish, beaten a head by Buggsy having chased the 3yo's in the Lightning Stakes prior which is good form. Sets up well and looks a key danger. Wary of SUNBLISS (9) who beat Rubare on debut at Cranbourne back in March. Fancy she'll get further this time in but can win here. HOME INVASION (10) is a speedy filly who might be best suited this trip and can take catching.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 len at Werribee on May 30 over 1012m on a soft track defeating Astern Fight carrying 57kg at $1.18. When resuming last campaign made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 in the G3 Maribyrnong Plate at Flemington on November 4 over 1000m, slow going long-neck behind Tornado Valley carrying 58kg at $18. Won a jump-out at Cranbourne on August 31. Profiles well and should go close.

Getting off the mark on debut; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Bendigo on August 12 over 1000m in the wet defeating Come Together carrying 58kg at $6. Looks a nice type, have to include again.
