Sandown Park Race 5

The John Meehan

Prize Money: $8,785

QUINLEE BALE (1) has a strong record here with three wins and two placings from nine starts. Comes off a (34.20) win last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Grade 5 over 595m at this track. Expected to be in the finish. KING OWEN (2) hit the frame last time at Wentworth Park but just a few starts ago ran blistering time when scoring over 525m at The Meadows in 29.97. Top win three back and can measure up again. CORBAN YAXLEY (7) is progressing well scoring last time out (29.30) at this track and bringing up his 3rd career win. Form at this distance is sound. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. IAN ALBERT (6) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3 length third (29.62) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Leading contender.

Placed last time (30.19) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 4/5 at Healesville when a 5 length third but did run a quick 19.39 over the 350m journey. Among the each way chances if runs up to latest.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 515m at this track. That followed a win two back in 30.21 beating Paw Gregson over 525m at The Meadows. Prefer in something easier.
