Racing heads to Sandown (Lakeside) and Rosehill, with Good track ratings at both venues.
At Sandown (Lakeside), the rail is out 6m after being True last week when most winners were handy to the speed but without a clear bias.
The track played fairly again in midweek racing (rail 3m), where it was no disadvantage to be on-speed.
At Rosehill, the rail is out 3m, with the last meeting held on a Soft 7 where runners were getting off the inside rail and finishing strongly.
Given the drier conditions, expect fair racing with no disadvantage to those running on.
Sandown (Lakeside) – Race 10 No.7 – Lethal Thoughts
Lethal Thoughts resumed in strong fashion, hitting the line hard at Flemington despite being tardy away and caught in tight room at a key stage.
He chased home a smart horse in Is It Me, and the way he finished suggests he has returned in top order.
With a cleaner getaway, he can settle closer in the run and take full advantage of the Lakeside circuit, where positioning is crucial.
With natural improvement, he looks well-placed to go one better here.
Rosehill – Race 2 No.9 – Pocketing
Pocketing put in a massive effort last start, carrying near 60kg, well above weight-for-age scale, against handy older horses.
He still managed to chase strongly and may well have tested the winner Oh Diamond Lil with better luck in running.
Back in trip today, but that shouldn’t be an issue given the way he’s racing.
Clear top pick and well-placed to break through.
