One More Race To Go

Prize Money: $2,925

BLACK SANDY (1) goes very well this trip starting 15 times for five wins and six minors. Was out of placings last time (23.07) at Geelong in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Looks well placed and should feature. BLACK SKY (4) isn't a quick beginner but comes home hard, finishing out of the frame two back but did wind up strongly to place when second (22.15) in a Grade 5 at this track. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature. CAUSING RUBBLE (3) is always hard to beat when he races here at this trip.

Comments

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warrnambool over 390m. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 4/5 on April 4 over 400m at Geelong behind Stojanovic beaten 8 lengths (23.07). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Missed the frame last start when a 4.5 lengths sixth (24.64) at Bendigo. Previous form sound including a win three back at Healesville. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 6 length second but did clock a strong 22.15 over the 390m journey. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 25.45, beating Atlas Alien. Last start finished 6th on April 4 over 500m at Bendigo behind Bombarda Maxima beaten 6 lengths (28.59) in a Grade 4/5. Hard to entertain this time.

Was out of placings last time (22.83) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Makes appeal on best.
