Sandown Park Race 7

Thank You New Zealand

Prize Money: $10,375

MEPUNGA DONNA (2) lost valuable ground in the early stages of her eye catching placing. With even luck early she can turn the tables on HURRICANE (4) who looks the obvious danger playing from the front. PAW LOVISA (5) is another of the on pace runners and IN MODERATION (3) can run a race after a few luckless runs of late

Comments

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 715m at this track in a handy 42.11 beating Amron Toy. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 715m in 41.81. Followed that up with a minor placing over 730m at The Meadows at Grade 5 a week ago. Hard to have without further improvement.
