Sandown Park Race 5

Ride For Lucy

Prize Money: $9,055

REALITY BEST (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with two wins and two minors from six tries. In the money last time at this track (29.73) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length second. Rates a leading player. KING OWEN (8) shapes well for this after a scintillating last start success, getting around Hobart over 461m in 25.53. Should be in this for a long way. KIWI JAY (2) goes very well at the distance with four wins and a placing from seven starts. In the money last time at this track (30.01) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths second. Can feature with the right run. TOKYO HEIST (7) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Impressive performance to score by 3.5 lengths in a Special conditions race last start at Hobart, clocking a dazzling 25.53 over the 461m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
