Sandown Park Race 9

Thr33 Series Final

Prize Money: $3,875

ROWDY'S BEAST (7) was a strong course and distance winner last time, claiming a T3 Grade 5 H in a powerful 29.79 and a new PB here. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. GO MICKY (5) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 515m. Bold showing expected again. WINCKIE BALE (3) was a narrow winner last time, jumping from this same box to score by 0.8 lengths in a T3 Grade 5 H over 515m at this track. Harder here but expected to measure up. VIKING (2) placed last time out at this track and distance - worth considering.

In the money last time at this track (30.13) in a T3 Grade 5 H, finishing a 4 length third. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 515m at this track clocking 29.94. This appears within his reach.
