Sandown Park Race 12

Greyhound Adoption Program

Stake: $10,718

MEPUNGA SUMMIT (5) Ran over the top of them when winning last start at Healesville in 19.58s over 350m and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Very competitive this preparation. Up to these. MIKADO MANIA (1) Rocketed home when winning last time at the track in 29.74s over 515m and strong form at this distance. Will be positive in the run early. Drawn well. Respect. ONE FOR BILL (7) Romped home to win last start here in 30.0s over 515m. Could be value. PAW XENA (8) Didn't find the line when 6th last start at Traralgon but has a good draw. Solid place bet prospects.

Ran on strongly to win last time at this venue in 29.74s over 515m and proven runner at this trip. Has plenty of early speed. Very competitive this campaign. Rates as one of the key chances.
