Sandown Park Race 8

Judy Hayley Memorial Final

Prize Money: $15,250

ABDULLA ZULU (1) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his speedy 27.21 win at Horsham over 485m. Has the ability and expected to go close again. ASTON BUGSY (6) goes very well this course and distance starting eight times for four wins and two minors. Comes off a (29.65) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Special conditions H over 515m at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. SO YOU ASSUME (5) shapes well for this on his exceptional win a few runs back, getting around Shepparton over 450m in 25.25 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Should be in this for a long way. SPICY LA VIDA (8) has won at this course and distance, cannot be underestimated.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by 5.5 lengths in 31.09, beating White Shiraz. Last start finished 4th in a Special conditions H on August 25 over 515m at this track behind Aston Bugsy beaten 6 lengths (30.10). Other runners look much more appealing.
