Sandown Park Race 5

Hole In One Comp April 2

Prize Money: $8,785

CRACKERJACK KEV (6) turned in a plain performance last time when eighth at this track over 515m behind Kiwi George (30.30) in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CRACKERJACK HOPS (3) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (30.21) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Key runner on best form. TRENDY TOMMY (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (30.03) in a Grade 4 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. BAYWARA (2) is likely to have admirers.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (29.79) over 515m at this track. Has a low draw but will need a little luck to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.24) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Has two successes and six minors from 14 starts from box 4. Will need some luck to feature.

Missed the frame latest (30.30) when eighth over 515m at this track in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Looks a leading chance.
