Sandown Race 9 - Orbit Logistics Chautauqua Stakes
Open race but it looks a lovely option for PERSIAN SPIRIT (6) who settled fairly handy first up in the Regal Roller Stakes and ran very well for second to Shadhavar. Some query on the strength of that form but he gets in so well and 1300m suits better. WARNIE (3) was fourth in the Regal Roller having gotten a long way back in the run, catching the eye late. Zahra goes on, tactics from the slightly tricky gate will be key because he can be more forward.HERE TO SHOCK (2) resumes, he did beat (an enormous) PERSIAN SPIRIT last time in and will give a sight. Interesting to see how AMENABLE (5) gets on for the new yard. Good horse on his day and won't mind the rain tumbling down.

Racing well recently. Last start made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 in a Bm88 at this track on August 22 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 2.25 len behind Gold Coast Belle carrying 56.5kg at $2.90. The start before that won by a head at Caulfield on July 25 over 1100m in soft going defeating Behaviour with 54.5kg at $1.45. Down in the weights but this is tougher again, perhaps she's hit her mark for now.
