Prize Money: $3,940

MEPUNGA PHANTOM (6) crossed over from out wide but caught the leaders turning before drawing clear to score (34.69) at Sandown in a Grade 5 over 595m. Ideally placed to take this out. REGAL SPENCER (8) produced a solid 29.57 when filling a minor placing over 515m at Sandown last start. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. FLYING ROGUE (3) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (34.60) from Box 2 at Sandown. Overdue and is among the main hopes. BALDING SANDY (7) cannot be left out over a shorter journey.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.75 lengths fourth (28.31) over 500m at Bendigo. Hard to recommend this time.

Last start finished fifth over 485m at Horsham, beaten 6 lengths (27.99) behind Imitated in a Grade 5 H on July 21. Not keen, needs to lift.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 5 length second (29.57) over 515m at Sandown. Yet to win but has been in the money three times from four starts off this box. Right in the mix.
