Sandown Park Race 8

Sos Abba Tribute Band Tonight

Stake: $12,658

ESPOIR (8) Towards the tail last start at this track. Should bounce back and will try to take advantage of the box. Won't be far away during the run. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. VISTA WEIRD (3) Kept chasing when 4th last start here and hard to fault at the trip. Running with confidence this campaign. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . ASTON GUITAR (4) Weakened to finish 4th last start at The Meadows. Expecting improvement. Displays good early speed. Has the ability to take this out. TEXAS PRESIDENT (2) Good performance to run into 3rd last time here in 42.1s over 715m. In good racing form since resuming from a spell. Has a nice turn of foot. Looks to have a good chance of placing.

Started $26.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last run at this venue but has minimal work to do from the box. Not likely to pull off the victory.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at this venue in 42.1s over 715m. Should get going late. In top racing shape this preparation. One of the value chances in this race.

Jumped at $1.90 and struggled with the pace when 4th last start at The Meadows. Expecting improvement. Should muster plenty of early toe. Must be considered here.

Failed to threaten last start here. Should bounce back and can find a nice position from the draw. Has good early speed and will be nicely positioned. Holds a major chance.
