A strong placing for Orujo was witnessed at Sandown with Ben Thompson continually trying to lift the runner in the straight from an awkward draw, following on from 3rd at Morphettville on Saturday just gone.
Orujo was out fast, Big Reel was on its inside with The Dynamo tight against the rail with Chapel Road between runners.
On straightening for home in the Sprint Big Reel was still there, Orujo was lifting out of the pack, late on the scene was the fast finishing Gibbon, arriving in time in a blanket finish to defeat Orujo from Removal the next runner in.
