Small field, nice depth. SHAMANSARA easily cleared maiden on Heavy10 at Cranbourne and the market really rated her in Sandown Hillside BM70 for 3yo Fillies over 1600m. Was in front at 1300m and stuck well. Run over longer trip an advantage on Heavy10. LYRICS 'N' SONG looks ready for a bold return here judging by the way she powered away at end of 1000m jumpout on Heavy 8 at Cranboune. Handled Soft 6 when stakes-placed in November, and no luck at Cranbourne last start when caught in traffic and found line strongly running 3rd best last 800 of the meeting. LOFTY THOUGHTS was hard in market with the change of tactics to race more forward last start, but was caught deep on then pace and winner had dream run. Wide margin to third always a good sign. GODTFRED KIRK ran a solid last 200m at meeting level last start, Sandown Hillside when he struck the very promising Here's Mathilda.
