Sandown Park Race 4

Happy Birthday Kristie

Prize Money: $10,095

FLYING PROUD (2) lines up chasing another win after scorching around Ballarat over 660m in 37.80 on October 15. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. ASCEND GERANIUM (1) was below best last time at Sale (37.29) in a R/A FIN, finishing a 8 length fourth. Has already won out of this draw. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. FLYING ENVY (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.38) in a Grade 4/5 at The Meadows. The form out of last race has been strong. Great chance to atone. MEPUNGA LILLY (8) should be thereabouts.

Recorded a neck win (37.80) in a Grade 5 last time at Ballarat. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame latest (43.26) when seventh over 730m at The Meadows in a Special conditions race. Goes very well from the draw boasting four places from seven starts. Among the chances on best.

Steps up to 715m for the first time. Last appeared when second over 640m at Sale four days ago. Draw will be an advantage although beaten last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.
