Sandown Race 2 - Thoroughbred Club Of Australia (Bm70)
SUFFOLK STAR (2) narrowly on top, off the back of a good first-up run here over 2400m when working home well off a tempo much slower than he'd have liked. Getting into fifth there reads well, going to the 3000m here and expect the yard to have him nice and fit second up. STERN IDOL (1) resumes. He's the champion jumper who will be tuning up for Warrnambool here. That said, he's certainly adept on the flat and you know he'll stay the trip strongly. DIGGERS AIM (5) struggled last time at Pakenham but had been coming along well prior and could appreciate this trip now. MOTIVER (6) can mix his form but did place over this route two back which reads well. REBADGE (8) struggles to win but is bred to relish this trip and could be an improver.

At the latest run faded in the straight 8th of 14 at this track Bm74 on February 25 over 2400m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Hurry Curry with 54kg at $41. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at this track Bm70 on February 4 over 3000m, 3.5 len behind Urban Outlook with 55kg at $8.50. Each way hope.

Last start scored a big 3.5 len win at Werribee Mdn-Sw February 17 over 2720m defeating Phoenician carrying 57.5kg at $4. The run before that 2nd of 7 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on December 19 over 2600m, 1.75 len behind Vineux carrying 57.5kg at $7. Obviously a lot harder and the ratings say she won't be competitive.
