Sandown Park Race 5

The Nationals 25-30 August

Prize Money: $3,340

PANTHER'S WAY (8) missed the frame latest when sixth at this track (30.60) but scored five back at Traralgon (24.11). Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Rates on top in this line up. MORE THAN WORDS (1) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 2.5 lengths win at Shepparton over 450m in 25.54. The form out of last race has been strong. Deserves serious consideration again. TALK THAT TALK (6) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 1.1 lengths away in third (26.42) behind Dr. Ulma at Warragul. Expected to feature. PRINCESS LASS (4) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Won her last two including a strong win last start over 450m at Shepparton by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 6 lengths at Sale. Form solid prior to that including a win at Sale three back. Has ability but will need everything to go right.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 570m at Traralgon. Likely to find this too tough.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording eight placings in a row, before finishing sixth (30.22) at this track last start. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need to find best.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a sharp 24.07 over 425m finishing second at Traralgon. Can measure up if runs up to recent best times.
