Sandown Park Race 8

Greyhound Entertainment

Prize Money: $9,055

GENERAL FRANKY (1) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish third (29.94) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 515m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Deserves serious consideration. MEPUNGA EXPRESS (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.01) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Boasts four wins from six starts out of this box. A big run wouldn't surprise. MOONLIGHT MILLER (4) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last four runs. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 4 on February 26 over 515m at this track behind Prison Break beaten 2 lengths (29.74). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Expecting another good run. UNLEASH THE LION (6) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Won two starts back over 515m at this track. Last start he finished 3rd over 515m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (29.94) behind Lakeview Lynette in a Grade 4/5 on February 26. Draw likely to suit. Has a blistering 29.29 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Placed last time (29.74) at this track in a Grade 4, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Among the main chances.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (25.81) over 460m at Warragul. Has a decent strike-rate from the draw but will need the breaks to go his way.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (29.11) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from four starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 4/5 on February 26 over 515m at this track behind Lakeview Lynette beaten 4.5 lengths (30.01). Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
