Sandown Park Race 1

Sportsbet Final

Prize Money: $8,785

MEPUNGA ENVY (8) jumped from the same box last time when scoring a Maiden H win (30.06) at this track over 515m. Has the ability and looks hard to top. MIKADO MANIA (1) pinged the lids from the inside draw and led until late, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths (30.11) at this track in a Maiden H over 515m. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Can feature again. PATIENCE (3) is super consistent without winning, landing five placings from six starts. Hit the frame again last start finishing third (30.50) at this track. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Overdue and is among the main hopes. AUTOFOCUS (2) is a chance after winning last time.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 515m at this track beaten 0.8 lengths (30.11) behind Mepunga Envy in a Maiden H on March 16. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Is a six start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when third (30.50) over 515m at this track. Has hit the frame at the last four starts. Looks the testing material.

Placed last time (30.66) at this track in a Maiden H, finishing second and beaten half a length. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won by 0.8 lengths at this track (30.06) beating Mikado Mania in a Maiden H on March 16. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Has returned in winning form and can measure up again.
