Sandown Park Race 6

Mckenna Memorial Ht1

Prize Money: $10,375

YACHI BALE (8) was strongly fancied last time but finished third (34.37), beaten 4.5 lengths. Top prospect. OSPREY ATHENA (1) has a strong record this trip with seven wins and seven placings from 19 starts. Was out of placings last time (37.82) at Shepparton in a Special conditions H, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. ETHANOL VOLUME (6) is on a hot streak recording a 37.33 win over 650m at Shepparton last start following on from a dynamic 37.23 success at Shepparton over 650m the start prior. Expected to feature again. EMERLEY ZOE (2) is always a threat when she races at this track and distance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sale over 640m in 36.51 last start, beating Engelke Road. Must be a winning chance again.
