Sandown Park Race 9

Prize Money: $3,340

HOW HIGH (8) was a last start winner (29.42) at Wagga in a NG and will jump from box 8 for the first time. Hard to go past form at this journey. The form out of last race has been strong. Sure to prove hard to beat. MORAINE KOBY (6) is an honest type who is new here. Was an all the way winner latest, running away with a 4.5 lengths win at Ballarat (25.20). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. One of main contenders. INDY'S CHARM (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (26.23) at Warragul. The form out of last race has been strong. Must be included in calculations. YOUNG RUFUS (2) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.87) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 13 length eighth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and 11 places from 16 starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 460m at Warragul beaten 6 lengths (26.23) behind Barooga Jim in a Grade 5 on September 1. Looks a solid contender.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 6 lengths victory in a NG last start at Wagga, recording a dazzling 29.42 for the 525m journey. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
