Sandown Park Race 9 - Schillaci At Stud
CLEO'S STAR (1) comes here following a scorching win over 460m at Geelong in 25.75. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. NEO DEVERE (3) has been without a win for a while, the latest jumping from an outside draw when fifth (30.04) at this track in a Grade 5. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. The form out of his last race has been franked. Can measure up this time. PAW SAPPHIRE (2) sprung the lids and on speed throughout before being run over late when fifth (30.45) at The Meadows over 525m. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. O'KEEFE (8) cannot be dismissed although new to this venue.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 460m at Geelong by a head in a Grade 4/5. Expected to go well again.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early split and gave a sight before being swamped late, finishing a 2.75 lengths fifth at The Meadows over 525m in 30.45. Should prove hard to beat.

Last start finished 5th on July 16 over 515m at this track behind Paw Fabian beaten 6 lengths (30.04) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (29.87) over 515m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Solid top-three prospects.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (30.02) over 525m at The Meadows. Has a solid record from out wide but needs to bounce back.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 400m in 22.95. Followed that up with a minor placing over 435m at Sale at Grade 5 four days ago. Prepared to overlook.
