Sandown Park Race 3

Grv Vicbred Series Final

Prize Money: $18,150

SLICK FELIX (1) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 29.54 beating REIKO DAIQUIRI. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from two starts. Will go close again if runs up to latest. MAV REIKO (4) won comfortably last time scoring by 7 lengths at this track after jumping from box 4 (29.24). Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Sure to be thereabouts. REIKO DAIQUIRI (2) was in the minor money with a good 29.55, finishing second in a Grade 5 H at this track last start. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. BRUTE FORCE (7) has been a model of consistency and deserves plenty of thought.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 515m at this track. That followed a win two back in 30.20 beating Witch Of Nova over 525m at The Meadows. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing second (29.84) at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has to do a bit more.

Good effort to win last start by 8 lengths over 515m at this track in a handy (29.52), beating Irish Bill. Will find this a bit tougher, be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 3.5 lengths (29.78) over 515m at this track. Can go well again with the right run.
