West Wind (Sandown Hillside Race 9 No. 10):
This Pins mare from the Maher & Eustace stable is in the best form of her career. She won by 6 lengths over 2080m at Cranbourne on 13 September, then won the Pinker Pinker Plates over 2025m at Cranbourne by 0.1 length on 9 October. Next she won over 2040m at Moonee Valley by 0.75 lengths on 23 October. She is down in weight and likes to lead. Although this is a harder race she looks a good each-way prospect.
