SILENTZ
On Wednesday 9th May 18 SILENTZ (4g Snitzel – Inthemix by Easy Rocking) stepped out for champion trainer Darren Weir in the last at Sandown – a benchmark 70 over 1300 metres. He was ridden cold by Brad Rawiller, last and out of the picture at the top of the home straight before he reeled out two sizzling late sectionals (10.54 and 10.91) to win by more than a length. The win made it two in a row for SILENTZ who won at Echuca a fortnight earlier. A replay showing the scorching turn of foot can be seen here: Replay: Race 8 Sandown 09 May 18
