Happy 70Th Ross Lyons

Prize Money: $9,055

FERNANDO PHIL (5) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at Sandown over 515m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Will go close again if runs up to latest. CRUISING DEBBIE (7) was unfavoured last start but gave a huge sight when led for much of the way to place (30.06) at this track in a Free For All over 525m. Won at her only start from this box. Winning chance. SO CERTAIN (1) comes off a (29.55) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 5 over 515m at Sandown. Already a winner from this draw.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sandown over 515m in 29.55 last start, beating Bear Hand. Winner at the latest run in one of the quickest times on the card. Can measure up again.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 11 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sandown over 515m in 29.63. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when eighth over 515m at Sandown at Free For All level. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4 lengths over 515m at Sandown in a handy 29.58, beating Pierre Bale. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 29.64. Top chance.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (30.06) at this track over 525m. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
