Sandown Park Race 9

Mick's 50Th

Prize Money: $9,055

FERNANDO PHIL (4) ran well two back scoring a Grade 4/5 win in 29.58 then out of the placings at The Meadows latest but returns to a course where he has performed well. Has the ability and expected to bounce back. HI THERE FRANK (7) is better than last start when fifth (25.67) in a Grade 4/5 at Ballarat over 450m. The form out of his last race has been franked. Must be included in calculations. NAVARINO (2) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at Sale over 510m (28.71), scoring by 0.7 lengths. Can measure up again. SO CERTAIN (5) can sneak into the finish.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sale over 510m in 28.71 last start, beating Daintree Dazzler. Has never missed the frame from three starts out of this box. Major player.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 30.27 in a 0.7 lengths win at The Meadows over 525m. In top form and can make it three straight.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fifth (30.29) over 525m at The Meadows. Excellent record from this box, including two wins. Go well.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.13), beating Zipping Kai. Will find this a bit tougher, good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Traralgon over 395m. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 4/5 on June 26 over 450m at Ballarat behind Vincent Bale beaten 9 lengths (25.67). The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.
