Sandown Park Race 8

Neil Brown Museum

Prize Money: $4,445

STEAL THE STAGE (8) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.61) at this track. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Deserves serious consideration. MONUMENT (1) could manage only second at The Meadows last time but turned heads when posting a flying 29.92 over 525m at The Meadows three starts ago. Has the ability and can find winning form again. BANDIT SWAGGER (6) was well supported last time but could only manage second (39.49), beaten 0.7 lengths. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in the finish again. LADY BREANNA (2) drops in distance and is not to be underestimated.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing sixth (42.77) at this track before going for a three-and-a-half months spell. Looks a danger to the top hope.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fifth on October 8 over 595m at this track behind Lush Hour, beaten 3 lengths (34.90) in a Grade 5. Other runners look much more appealing.

Facing tougher opposition than he has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Needs to do more. Others better.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (39.56) at Warragul over 680m. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (39.49) over 680m at Warragul. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (28.39) over 500m at Bendigo. Boxed out wide but in the mix on his best form.

Comments

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 3.5 lengths third (29.61) over 515m at this track. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
