Sandown Race 2

Sportsbet Fast Form (Bm70)

Stake: $54,500

CHARCOALS (1) gets the nod. He'd won two in a row before tackling stronger 3yo company at Caulfield and battling on quite well for sixth, only beaten 2.25 lengths. Drops back to benchmark company for this and draws well with Zahra aboard. Rates highly. HARPALEE (2) is coming of a sharp win at Pakenham Synthetic over 1100m, finding the line strongly to score by 0.8 lengths. She can go on with it now having always shown a bit of ability. NEPRAVDA (5) resumes. She won her maiden first up last time in and went on with it thereafter. The run before a spell when fourth is still fairly solid form and she's open to plenty of improvement. BRANDJAM (3) was poor last time in the same race as CHARCOALS but had been good prior in a stronger race and could bounce back without surprising. STORMBOURG (4) was plain fresh but is open to improvement.

Last start 6th of 12 at Caulfield 3yo Hcp on July 12 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Scampi carrying 59kg at $15. The start before that came from midfield and won by a head at Pakenham Synthetic Bm70 June 23 over 1200m defeating Scully carrying 59.5kg at $3.30. Well-placed to make amends.
