Sandown Park Race 8

Great Chase (1-5 Wins) Ht6

Prize Money: $3,875

BIOLLANTE (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and four minors from 11 tries. Recorded a neck win (29.79) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. MARSHAL LEE ROSE (7) was a winner two back in fast time when racing on speed but drifted back latest and safely held when 7th and beaten 4.5 lengths at Sale (29.17). Can figure in the finish. STIDHAM ARIZONA (8) jumped well from the low draw and led all the way to score last start (29.73) at The Meadows in a Mix 6/7 over 525m. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. XARA'S JAI (6) will run well despite no experience on this track.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth on September 16 over 450m at Ballarat behind Taste, beaten 5.5 lengths (25.69) in a Grade 5. Prepared to overlook.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 515m at this track. Not keen this time.

Won again in another strong performance after tracking the speed to make it two in a row at this track over 515m (29.79). With even luck looks hard to beat again.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing fifth (30.11) at this track last start. Awkwardly drawn and will need to find best.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 510m at Sale. Prior to that won by 1.3 lengths at Sale (28.60) beating Glowing in a Restricted WIN H on September 20. Has run slick time here with a 29.55 PB at the distance. Go close.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Mix 6/7 last start at The Meadows, clocking a hot 29.73 for the 525m trip. Top win and can measure up again.
