Sandown Park Race 1

Stake: $3,146

ONE WORD ANSWER (2) is overdue for a maiden success having placed at three of eight starts and finishing in the money again at The Meadows. Gave a huge sight last time and went down narrowly. Key chance in this line up. SOUTH THAILAND (3) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden and overdue for a win, having placed eight of 21 career runs. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Expected to run well. FORBES LIGHTNING (8) found the frame here last start and looks a top-three hope again.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.83) in a Maiden, finishing a 7 length fourth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Expected to go close.

Moderately away on debut last start and was never in contention when seventh at Warragul over 400m in 23.60. Others favoured this time.

Is a nine start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when third (30.67) over 515m at this track. Was on pace and game in defeat. Tough to make a case.
