Sandown Park Race 3 - Happy Birthday Olivia (1-2 Wins)
HERE TO PLAY (1) held a forward position from the pinch but began to paddle on the bend and drifted out of the finish when 5th at Warragul in Mix 6/7 company. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. DEL AMITRI (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (30.24) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Likely to play a prominent role. SHE'S JUST FINE (6) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (26.09) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at Shepparton. Cannot be underestimated. ASTON MACQUARIE (2) has definite claims at his first try at this circuit.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 460m at Warragul. Happy enough to avoid.
