Sandown Park Race 5

Greyhounds Entertainment

Prize Money: $3,460

KIWI EDDIE (5) finds it hard to break through. Finished second (30.41) at The Meadows last time making it two minors on end. One of the contenders. GLIMMERING (6) was a last start winner (26.32) at Warragul in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win and will jump from box 6 for the first time. Likely to be in the finish. MEPUNGA GYPSY (3) failed to come into contention last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won by 2.25 lengths at The Meadows (30.59) beating High Leak in a Maiden on June 3. One of the main contenders. DASHING JIFFY (2) can sneak into the finish while fresh.

Drawn the inside. Most recent effort finished last in a Mix 6/7 FIN on June 11 over 515m at this track behind Snow Road beaten 12 lengths (30.44). On best form is more than capable. Keep safe.

Won again in an impressive display after tracking the lead to make it two on end at Warragul over 460m (26.32). With even luck looks hard to beat again.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by half a length at Healesville (19.72) beating Daintree Gav in a Maiden on June 7. Is a danger.
