Sandown Park Race 9

Aston Rupee At Stud

Prize Money: $3,460

CREATING (5) was below best last time when fourth at The Meadows but prior to that was a Mix 6/7 winner in the quickest time on the card at Geelong. Can turn form around here. MEPUNGA PHANTOM (2) had a low draw last time over 525m at The Meadows but was in traffic and fell. Looks suited here and worth another try. ONE MORE DRAM (1) was in the minors two back (29.93) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Has ability and can atone. BIG WATCH (3) is not to be discarded.
