Sandown Park Race 12

Photo Man At Stud (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $3,340

TOMMY MARRA (8) kept coming to win after stalking the lead from a low draw (30.39) at The Meadows in Grade 5 over 525m. Looks the testing material. CENTAUREA (4) started big odds in far stiffer grade latest when finishing 7th over 510m at Sale. Won an easier race the start before that at Sale. Worth another chance. BE A SHADOW (2) finished well back at this track last time when a 6 length fifth (30.22) but scored three back at Sale (24.66). Has ability and is one of the better chances. SON OF WITCHY (1) is new to this circuit but should be in the mix.

Won two starts back over 410m at Horsham. Last start he finished 3rd over 485m at Horsham beaten 1.5 lengths (27.78) behind Little Bont in a Grade 5 on August 11. Draw likely to suit. More than capable and ready to find best form.
