Sandown Park Race 7

Handball Comp Tonight

Prize Money: $9,055

MEPUNGA GYPSY (7) goes very well this trip starting 15 times for five wins and three minors. Recorded a 2.5 lengths win (30.27) in a Grade 5 last time at The Meadows. Looks a key chance on best form. EVENTUATE (4) hit the frame latest (29.55) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Has two wins already from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up. GOLD CODE (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (29.87) in a Grade 5 at this track. Form at this distance is sound. Likely to play a prominent role. AVENGEMENT (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage third (34.50) at Angle Park. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 530m at Angle Park in a handy (30.19), beating Radar O'reilly. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk.

Most recent effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on September 17 over 515m at this track behind Aston Aquitaine beaten 5.5 lengths (29.87). Has ability and worth including.

Comments

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd on September 17 over 595m at Angle Park behind Jazzy Hope beaten 3 lengths (34.50) in a Special conditions race. Has run blistering time here with a 29.26 PB at the distance. Must include if he recaptures that form.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 0.8 lengths second but did record a good 29.55 over the 515m journey. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at The Meadows over 525m in 30.27 last start, beating Nancy Devere. Expected to measure up again.

In the money last time at Geelong (25.69) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4.5 lengths second. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from six starts. Looks a place chance at best.
