Sale Race 4

Rotti Security Distance Champ Ht2

Prize Money: $4,445

PAW PETROV (7) has been in the money at his last two runs, most recently when second (30.27) in a Mix 3/4 over 525m at The Meadows. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. PANAMA RHODE (8) dropped out early but hit the line hard, charging into second and beaten half a length win (30.22) at The Meadows in Grade 4/5. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including two wins, from five starts. Leading chance. ENGELKE ROAD (1) missed the frame latest (43.21) when fifth over 730m at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Has two wins already from this draw. Looks one of the chances. LAMIA TAYA (5) is always hard to beat when she races at this trip.

Comments

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (39.62) over 680m at Geelong. Has a decent record when drawn the inside and is among the better hopes.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 525m at The Meadows. Can't recommend him in this.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (34.85) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Has three minors from six starts from box 4. Will need some luck to feature.

Last start finished sixth in a Grade 4/5 on November 24 over 595m at Sandown behind Lochinvar Hummer, beaten 5.5 lengths (35.15). Will find this a little easier. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished second at The Meadows in 30.27 last time but the start prior clocked a slick 29.57 over 515m finishing second at Sandown. Looks the one to beat on run two back.

Placed last time (30.22) at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten half a length. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including two wins. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
