Randwick-Kensington Race 6- Sanstoc

Not a whole lot happening on this card but I liked the win of Sanstoc who was first up over 1400m, showing a nice turn of foot to come from back in the field to win running away. She's been hit-and-miss over her eight start career but this will be a peak performance for her and this was the fastest of the three 1400m races on the card. They went out faster and came home faster than the same grade of colts and geldings one race later and she's only going to improve over further. Placed well, she looks to be in for a good campaign.

Sandown-Hillside Race 2- Fistsoffury

Many will take the winner out of this, Freakofnature, but I don't think there's much between them at all and the paths they take may be very different. With stakes class racing on the horizon for Freakofnature, Fistsoffury may look to a similar race next start and I think he'd be winning that. A strong rating effort with a key sectional mark up on debut, he looks in desperate need of more ground now. By Dundeel out of a Street Boss mare, you'd think 2000m would be his go in time and getting to a mile next start in a similar race, he should be winning.
