Sandown Park Race 10

Toongabbie Lodge

Prize Money: $3,340

MEPUNGA WHISKEY (1) is a progressive dog who scored his 2nd career win last time at Geelong, scoring by half a length (26.19). Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expected to be right there at the finish again. PERFECT SYMPHONY (2) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (29.77) over 515m at this track. Well placed and gets her chance. BRAVE ISLAND (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (30.69) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. JILLIBY PIXIE (3) put a gap on her rivals last start. Big chance on that form.

Strong performance to win by half a length at Geelong over 460m (26.19) beating Indian Prince in Restricted WIN on May 15. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (29.77) at this track over 515m. Capable of a strong show.

Latest effort finished 4th on May 18 over 515m at this track behind Jilliby Pixie beaten 11 lengths (30.69) in a Mix 6/7. Was strongly supported last time but ran well below expectations. Worth another chance.

Hit the frame again last time when third (37.36) at Shepparton, making it four minor placings in a row. Jumps from a wide draw. Solid top-three prospects.
