Sandown Race 8 - Quayclean Hcp
TAZIMA (10) brings different form down from Sydney and looks well placed to measure up. He's won two of his past three, coming from well back in fast time at Randwick inna good BM88 when last seen. Stays right down in the weights here and looks one that'll go on with it provided they can run on from back in the field. No idea what to do with GILDED WATER (4) who dropped right out on resumption over this route, pulling up with genuine post race excuses. Have to wipe that, but 1800m is certainly short of his best and we need to see him find his best - if he does, he'll just about win. PUDDING (3) beat GILDED WATER here last time in a good effort to continue a strong run of form. He's hard to knock and should be right there again. THEDOCTOROFLOVE (5) got home very nicely in a slowly run affair first up at Flemington to grab fourth. He's come back very well and the rise in trip suits albeit he might need one more. BANKERS CHOICE (1) was just behind PUDDING last time and is in the mix.

Form hard to fault. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track Bm100 May 23 over 1800m on a soft track defeating Bankers Choice with 56kg at $5.50. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Morphettville in the G3 Cummings on May 9 over 1600m, slow going head behind Arran Bay carrying 55kg at $9. Beat key rivals last time and has to be included.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up won by a head at Caulfield Bm84 May 9 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Narbold carrying 54kg at $4.60. Second-up led to the turn then faded 5th of 9 at Caulfield Bm84 on May 30 over 2000m, in the wet; 2 len behind Simurgh with 56.5kg at $7. Going well and has each way claims.

Second run back. First-up after two months got back early 7th of 13 at this track Bm84 on May 23 over 1600m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Seafall with 57kg at $7.50. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Wangaratta Bm70 February 28 over 1590m defeating Buillt with 61kg at $2.10. Can improve quickly but does need to.
