Sandown Race 3 - Your Safety Factory (Bm88)
FUNDAMENTAL NATURE (4) is the horse to beat coming off an impressive win at Flemington on Melbourne Cup Day, settling back in the field and rattling home to win by a neck. If anything, this looks a bit easier and the tempo up front looks strong enough for her to finish over the top. PORTER (5) will be up setting that tempo, coming off a good win at Caulfield under 62.5kg. Gets relief here and D Lane takes over, he'll take plenty of catching. EL ROCKO (1) hasn't fired this time in but comes a fair way back in grade and is good enough on his day. The track coming up wet this morning is a huge advantage for him. GRID GIRL (2) can run well fresh and won't mind conditions either/

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 in the LR Sale Cup on October 25 over 1600m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Makdane with 55kg at $3.80. The run before that faded in the straight 6th of 9 in the G3 Harry White (Moonga) Stakes at Caulfield on October 17 over 1400m, 4 len behind War Machine with 58kg at $81. Will find this more suitable and can improve sharply.

At the latest run settled well back; won by a neck in a Bm90 at Flemington on November 3 over 1400m defeating Jett Smash carrying 54kg at $13. The start before that 5th of 12 in a Bm84 at Caulfield on October 14 over 1440m, 2.25 len behind Buccleuch with 55kg at $7. Rates highly on recent form, the one to beat.

First up last campaign second of 13 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 April 15 over 1400m, soft track; 1.75 len behind Louis Barthas carrying 57.5kg at $21. Might be better off following this run.
