Sandown Park Race 4

Rch Good Friday Appeal

Stake: $11,413

SUNSET WISP (5) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 4.5 lengths over 595m this track in 34.61. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Good form should continue. PAW OCTAVIA (2) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and five minors from 13 tries. Missed the frame latest (30.57) when sixth over 520m at Geelong in a Special conditions H. Can feature with the right run. PAW VINCE (4) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 3.5 lengths away in second (34.54) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 595m. Well-placed to take this out. NAVARINO (1) must be included in main hopes on latest effort.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (34.54) at this track over 595m. Has a sharp 34.2 PB at this course and distance. Among the chances.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (34.61) at this track over 595m. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
