Sandown Park Race 5

Grv Vicbred Series Ht3

Prize Money: $3,340

AKINA SARI (8) flew the lids from the middle with a slick turn of foot before finishing third (30.07) and beaten 9 lengths over 515m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. MONUMENT (2) ran below best last time finishing fifth (35.32) over 595m at this track from Box 4. Cannot be taken lightly. KID GULLA (6) is having his first start around this course. Notched his 4th career success when too good (28.28) at Bendigo last time off this draw. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. DUSTIN (4) has been a model of consistency and deserves plenty of thought.

Latest effort finished 5th in a Grade 4/5 on August 3 over 595m at this track behind Opalite beaten 9 lengths (35.32). More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.75 lengths at Bendigo (28.28) beating Ripper Rae in a Grade 5 on July 24. Must be a winning chance again.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 9 length third over 515m this track in 30.07. Should prove hard to beat.
