Warren Huntly’s Saturday Sandown Preview

Posted on April 28, 2023April 28, 2023 | Posted by Warren Huntly

Race 1

Plenty to learn. LIBERAMI, PRINZERRO and RAVALLI looked to pick of the first starters to me but that’s obviously very subjective as all others have looked good at the jumpouts. RED DATES has race experience, she was well in the market on debut and may be suited coming back to 1000m.

Selections: 2,3,4,7

Suggested Bet: Happy to look and learn

---

Race 2

NEVER AGAIN has been in good form for the Goodwin stable and produced and eye-catching run last start, he’s much better suited by the weight conditions here. SING FOR PEACE received a proactive ride to score over 3000m last time. KING’S CROSSING has a bright staying future, he rises in grade but can measure up. IRISH BUTTERFLY is racing well and has had a hurdle school since his last start victory.

Selections: 4,2,10,3

Suggested Bet: Never Again each way

---

Race 3

There wasn’t much between CLARITY and HOLLY LOLLY when they met last start, Clarity gets a claim for an in-form apprentice. JENNY JEROME drops in grade and has jumped out well between runs. FEARLESS WRITER and ACQUARELLO have claims.

Selections: 5,3,1,6

Suggested Bet: Clarity each way

---

Race 4

DEEKAY ended up in an awkward spot last start but still found the line well, he may end up in a more forward position here. TORONTO TERRIER did a lot of chasing last time, don’t see coming back to 1400m a negative. CASTLLIAN ran well without the best of luck last time and will relish the rise in trip. MERIDIUS, THE REAL THING and AIMING are among the other hopes.

Selections: 6,5,2,1

Suggested Bet: Deekay each way

---

Race 5

Plenty to learn with lightly raced horses getting to 1400m. ARIZONA ACTIVIST should appreciate the trip and comes through a strong form race. CHILL THE KRUG won at this trip at her last start and appeared to have plenty in hand. VIVY AIR was strong through the line winning her maiden over 1212m last time out and should cope with 1400m. LEGACIES showed good late strength to win on debut. Could mount a case for every other runner.

Selections: 4,1,8,7

Suggested Bet: Arizona Activist each way

---

Race 6

KATSU looks highly promising, he was dominant winning first up and has jumped out in good style since that victory. MY HARUCONI hit the line well behind FASUTO last start. Fasuto backs up from a solid win at Mornington last week following that clash with My Haruconi. SOUTH OF HOUSTON broke her maiden in dominant fashion last time and has upside. FISSION should appreciate coming back to 1000m.

Selections: 3,10,1,9

Suggested Bet: Katsu to win

---

Race 7

SNAPPED had no luck looking for an inside run last start, dropping back to 1000m on the fresh side should be ok.  FOXICON stretched out to 1200m last start but her record around this trip indicates she will also cope coming back to 1000m. DO YA PUNK is probably looking for further but had no luck first up and any rain would be a bonus. TYCOON HUMMA races well here and drops in grade. NASRAAWY has been jumping out well.

Selections: 10,6,3,11

Suggested Bet: Playing multiples around 10,6, & 3

---

Race 8

Plenty of unknowns getting out to 3000m with the transfer from Anzac Day. ROARING ENGINE worked through the line strongly in a key lead up race and swaps winkers for blinkers. MIDNIGHT GLOW was only beaten by a bob of the head in that race and has strong claims. HIGHLAND HILL was part of a solid tempo in the same race and stuck on ok. PULVERISER is still green and rises in grade, but shapes as a stayer with upside.

Selections: 5,1,3,9

Suggested Bet: Roaring Engine each way

---

Race 9

CARDINAL GEM rises in weight after his dominant win last start, but he has a touch of class and looks hard to beat again. LADY OF HONOUR chased well behind Cardinal Gem last time and gets a decent weight swing. CROSSHAVEN has jumped out nicely since his solid run at Bendigo. MEGAMEA and RIDDLE ME THAT have some claims.

Selections: 1,6,3,12

Suggested Bet: Cardinal Gem to win

---

Race 10

PARTY FOR ONE only has a modest winning strike rate, but was arguably unlucky not to enhance that figure last time at her first run for the stable. KARALEE ROCKS impressed winning at her first Victorian start and the form through the Good Friday meeting is proving strong. BARBIE’S FOX ran well first up, the slight rise in trip is a positive and any rain would be a further benefit. CUBAN LINK has been jumping out well, she kicks off at at a suitable trip with a strong first up record.

Selections: 8,6,2,10

Suggested Bet: Party for One each way
