Sandown Park Race 4

Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

Prize Money: $3,875

XENI BALE (7) was a winner two back when racing on speed but drifted back latest and safely held when 8th and beaten 14 lengths at The Meadows (35.46). Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Key runner on his best form. VIPER (1) produced a moderate performance last time when sixth at this track over 515m behind Paw Whistler (29.90) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. His last run is a proven strong form reference. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. WISE ABALONE (5) has definite claims at her first try at this circuit.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (29.02) over 510m at Sale. Tough draw to overcome and will need the breaks to go her way.
