Sandown Park Race 9

Farrells (275+ Rank)

Prize Money: $3,340

ZIPPING DARLA (2) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 515m behind Rumour Confirmed (30.49) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Won at her only start from this draw. Tough to beat if on-song. SCOUT ACE (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (24.90) from Box 3 at Sale over 435m. Cannot be underestimated. TARGET RANGE (3) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 5 NP at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. RHUBARB (7) can run a bold race on best form.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 5 lengths at The Meadows. Form solid prior to that including a win at Bendigo three back. Has ability but needs to find best and others make more appeal.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 515m at this track beaten 11 lengths (30.21) behind Compton Gold in a Grade 5 on July 7. Has been around the mark last couple and should make his presence felt.
