Sale Race 8 - Sportsbet Supporters Of Having A Crack
HERE COMES BILLY (8) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (22.31) at Warragul in a Grade 5 FIN over 400m. Hard to knock his form from this box, unbeaten in two starts. Great chance again. WAX OFF (3) did a good job to finish third last time out over 435m at this track (24.72) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Expected to do much better this time. AKINA SARI (4) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 3.5 lengths away in third (29.05) at this track in a Mix 3/4 over 510m. Hard to beat again. CRACKERJACK TREV (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 570m at Traralgon. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at The Meadows (30.36) beating Cruzado in a Grade 5 on August 26. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.5 lengths third over 435m this track in 24.72. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3.5 lengths third (29.05) over 510m at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card at the latest appearance. Worth following up.

Was the fastest winner on the program after running them ragged making it four straight at Warragul over 400m (22.31). Looks well placed and should feature.
