Sandown Race 8 - Sportsbet More Places (Bm74)
Tough finish. TAKA SPEED (1) is racing consistently and comes back in grade. The fourth placing last time at Caulfield behind First Chorus who has won in better company again since reads nicely for this. Up in the weights here but he gets a good run and can break through. TISHMAN (7) resumed a winner at Sale and did it nicely there. He's a consistent sort who looks to have come back better than ever and can go on with the job. MY ROCA FELLA (4) is off a let-up here having run a sound race at Mornington in better company when last seen. The two wins prior were good and he should give a sight. ALLEGRO MISS (6) comes down from Sydney in solid form, not a yard we see much of in Melbourne but respecting the placement. RED ON RED (3) won an easier race last time but is racing well and in the mix.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 11 at Caulfield Bm84 on July 11 over 1700m, slow going 2.5 len behind First Chorus with 53kg at $7. The race before that 4th of 10 at Randwick 3&4yo Bm72 on June 20 over 1600m, slow going 2 len behind Bird Whistle carrying 59.5kg at $10. Not far away last time. Finds the right race now and rates well.

Second-up. First-up after five months 7th of 14 at this track Bm78 on July 15 over 1400m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Kahhof with 55kg at $17. Previously second-up 6th of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm64 on August 3 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Mr Vivaci with 60.5kg at $5. Can improve second-up but others still look more likely.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 51 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 11 at Mornington Bm74 on June 8 over 2000m, slow going 4 len behind Savour The Dream carrying 58.5kg at $6.50. The start before that won by 0.5 len at Pakenham Bm74 May 22 over 2000m on a soft track defeating Aristonous carrying 56.5kg at $12. Well-placed to make amends.

Second run back. First-up after five months won by 2.25 len at Sale Bm62 June 28 over 1728m on a heavy track defeating Korobeiniki carrying 60.5kg at $9. Previously second-up 6th of 13 at Flemington Bm70 on December 31 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Fiorenot carrying 55.5kg at $26. Great chance to make it two in a row. Has come back well and can repeat the dose.

Second run back. First-up after three months got back early 7th of 9 at Mildura Bm70 on July 17 over 2000m, 4 len behind Male Model with 56.5kg at $15. Previously second-up got back early 5th of 10 at Flemington Bm70 on January 10 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Midnite Storm carrying 59kg at $20. Is a second up winner in the past but looks tested in this line-up.
