Sandown Park Race 9

Thr33 Series Ht2

Stake: $4,175

TRACKING ME (6) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 515m behind Rock It Kathy (30.20) in a Grade 5 NP. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Rates on top in this line up. RIPPING IT UP (3) had been in super honest form hitting the frame three times on end before finishing seventh (31.34) at The Meadows last time. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Bold showing expected. NOSEY BLUEY (1) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (25.07) last time in a Grade 5 at Sale. Has a good record at this journey. Cannot be underestimated. DARNUM RAIN (2) placed last time out so worth considering.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on November 3 over 435m at Sale behind Elite Intention beaten 6 lengths (25.07). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Missed the frame latest (31.34) when seventh over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Has two wins and six placings from nine starts from the draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by 5 lengths in 26.48, beating Cheeky Temper. Last start finished last on November 3 over 435m at Sale behind Daintree Maggie beaten 9 lengths (24.91) in a Grade 5. Solid chance with even luck.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (30.49) over 525m at The Meadows. Boxed out wide and will need to find best.
