Sandown Park Race 8

Judy Hayley Memorial Final

Prize Money: $15,250

DA SOUZA (5) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at all nine runs and has won two of last three, the latest winning (29.45) over 515m at this track. Looks well placed here and should prove hard to beat again. SAY MY GRACE (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.15) at this track behind DA SOUZA in a Special conditions H. Has the pace to be prominent. Can measure up. MOMENT (1) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (19.70) at Healesville in a Grade 5. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. STIDHAM ARIZONA (8) is a definite chance as a last start winner out of this box.

Was among the placegetters latest at Mt Gambier when a 4.5 lengths second but did clock a hot 29.71 for the 512m trip. Harder here and looks a place chance only.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
