Sandown Park Race 8

The Nationals 25-30 August

Prize Money: $9,055

FLYING DUCATI (7) goes very well this course and distance starting five times for two wins and two minors. Recorded a 2.25 lengths win (29.45) in a Grade 4 last time at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. GIACOMO (8) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths (29.65) behind GALENTO at this track. Expected to feature. GALENTO (3) goes very well here starting 15 times for six wins and five minors. Recorded a 0.8 lengths win (29.59) in a Mix 2/3 last time at this track. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. VISTA WEIRD (1) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 515m at this track. That followed a win two back in 28.75 beating Fantastic Zohan over 510m at Sale. Would be better placed in something easier.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3 length third at The Meadows but did record a fast 29.98 over the 525m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
