Sandown Park Race 2

Christmas In July At Sandown

Prize Money: $2,860

BOLD THRUSTER (8) settled well back early on debut and but the line nicely when second (25.84) at Geelong over 460m. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. BIOLLANTE (6) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at her last four runs. Last time finished 3rd on July 13 over 515m at this track behind Breach beaten 11 lengths (30.69) in a Restricted WIN. Hard to beat again. ASTON LOUISE (3) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a 1.3 lengths second (30.64) in a Maiden at The Meadows. Can find the frame this time. FLOREAT PICA (1) is new to this track but not to be underestimated.

Ended last campaign with a seventh (23.69) in a MDN at Warragul and returns after a four months break. Looks a danger to the top hope.

Missed the frame on debut over 510m at Sale when fifth (29.66) and beaten 4.5 lengths. Likely to be much improved. Likely to struggle this time.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when second (30.64) over 525m at The Meadows. Has a low draw. Worth including.

Has raced 11 times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a second (30.66) over 515m at this track. Was prominent most of the way and only faded late. Tough to make a case.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished 3rd in a Restricted WIN on July 13 over 515m at this track behind Breach beaten 11 lengths (30.69). Key chance on best form.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when third (18.06) over 305m at Mt Gambier. Has to overcome a wide draw and needs to find best form to feature.

Turned in a sound debut over 460m at Geelong where he settled off the pace but worked home well to finish second (25.84) and beaten 3.5 lengths. Leading contender.
