Sandown Race 4 - Sportsbet Up & Coming Stars Series - Heat 3 Mdn Plate
Siding with the resuming CAVALRY SCOUT (4) who looks to have trialled nicely leading in. He was right in the market on debut here and ran a solid race for fourth, perhaps a bit new on that occasion. With a bit more time to develop he can go on with it this time in. TEN WARRIORS (3) has had a stack of chances and just can't get the job done, with 9 minor placings from 13 starts. He's been running in some strong maidens however and should get his chance from the inside gate. DIRTY LOOK (10) ran a solid race on debut at Seymour, getting home well there after settling back. She should improve nicely to 1300m. WINDHOWLER (9) is a gelding by Ghaiyyath for the Hayes yard who debuts. He's won a trial leading in and looks set to measure up. CHOWDOWN (5) next best.

Most recently set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 14 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on February 20 over 1300m, nose behind Sabertooth with 59kg at $6.50. The race before that 12th of 14 at Randwick 3yo Mdn on December 26 over 1400m, 17 len behind Cellarmaster carrying 58kg at $31. Likely to find this a bit tougher so looking to others.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Ghaiyyath out of Albany Crest. Purchased for AUD $ 160,000 (Inglis 2024 Premier Yearling Sale). Won a trial over 1100m at Echuca on February 16. Drawn wide which doesn't help. Big chance to make an immediate impact.
