Sandown Park Race 4

Grv Vicbred Series Final

Prize Money: $18,150

NARINGAL LAD (2) was a big winner two back scoring by 1.4 lengths then got further back last time but came home hard into second and beaten one length at this track (29.68). Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Hard to beat again. MONUMENT (1) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fifth by 3 lengths (30.40). Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. WEBLEC MEMPHIS (3) is a last-start placegetter in a competitive race - should be thereabouts. Something for the Multiples: MEPUNGA SUMMIT (6)

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (30.02) over 515m at this track. Has the inside draw and is in the mix.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 515m at this track clocking 29.68. Form from this draw is very strong, including two wins. Hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 515m at this track in a handy (29.74), beating Hugo Rose. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to have this time.

In the money last time at Sale (24.77) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.25 lengths third. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Among the main chances.

Comments

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a 2.25 lengths third (29.78) over 515m at this track. More than capable and has to be included.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
