Sandown Park Race 5

Happy Birthday Charlie Pirotta

Prize Money: $10,375

LAKEVIEW NOLA (1) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten a neck (42.04). Overdue and expected to feature again. FLYING ENVY (6) was prominent throughout when winning in the fastest time of the card two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 6th and beaten 5.5 lengths at this track (42.38). Cannot be taken lightly. TULLY LUNA (7) has shown decent speed at her last couple and filled minor placings, last time finishing third beaten 1.5 lengths (42.13). Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Hard to beat again. BANDIT DARYL (3) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (34.49) at big odds over 595m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and will need the right run to feature.

Placed last time (42.13) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed five times from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (42.30) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a place chance at best.
