Sandown Park Race 5

Sportsbet Final

Prize Money: $9,055

HOW HIGH (1) is a super consistent dog who rarely misses the frame, last start scoring at this track (29.45), making it seven straight wins. Rarely misses off this draw. Drawn the fence and expected to go close. GOLD TAG (8) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 2 last time (29.58) at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Expected to feature again. WIZARD WATSON (6) was an impressive last start winner, scoring a flying 29.34 win and a new Best time this course and distance. Top win latest and rates a key player again. DEVIL'S SYMPATHY (2) is a definite chance as a last start winner out of this box.

Has been racing extremely well, putting seven wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won easily by 5.5 lengths at this track (29.45) beating Indy's Charm in a Grade 5 H on September 14. Flying lately and can score again.

Put a space on them to win by 8 lengths at Shepparton over 450m (25.17) beating Grapefruit Tito in Grade 5 H on September 21. Yet to be beaten in three starts out of this box. Must be respected.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (28.79) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 11 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 12 starts. Will need some luck to feature.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 515m at this track in a handy (29.93), beating Devil's Sympathy. Will find this a bit tougher, be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 H on September 14 over 515m at this track behind How High beaten 5.5 lengths (29.83). Has ability and among the chances.
