SANDOWN LAKESIDE

MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun)

CRIMSON CAPE

Race 2, No. 2

Emerging young middle-distance prospect aiming for a hat-trick. Controlled race to win at Flemington last start. Defeated some smart horses last start when he came across from a wide barrier to take up the running. Well drawn and should take running down again.

DANNY RUSSELL (Herald Sun)

COUNTESS MARINOV

Race 5, No. 14

Beaten by a wide draw on the tight-turning Werribee track first-up, and will have improved off that run. Trainer Mick Price has been very happy with the mare’s work.

CANTERBURY PARK

RAY THOMAS (The Daily Telegraph)

BULLRUSH

Race 7 No. 4

Effortless winner of his only two race starts. Cruised home to win his maiden at Goulburn back in August then resumed with a dominant effort at Wyong two weeks ago. Led throughout and reeled off a very fast closing sectional without being extended. Promising sprinter and drawn to control this race.

JOHN DAVIS (The Sportsman)

MULTITUDE

Race 1, No. 8

Performed well off a let-up last week at Warwick Farm and drops 2.5kg into this event. The Gai Waterhouse/Adam Hyeronimus combination is a powerful one. Ready to win.

STRATHALBYN

LINCOLN MOORE (The Advertiser)

KINGSGROVE

Race 6, No. 2

Murray Bridge winner on debut before getting tired after leading behind Courtside who went on with things. Had some specking on track first-up when he was game behind Tarco and looks nicely suited.
