Sandown Park Race 9

Book Golf Day 19 October

Prize Money: $8,785

HEY PRESTO (2) has been in the frame at her last two runs, most recently when second (30.29) in a Grade 5 over 525m at The Meadows. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. TARBHACH (6) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 515m behind Eventuate (30.25) in a Grade 5. Should be in this for a long way. PAW GORDY (3) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Working her way into winning form after her success on July 16 at this track over 595m. Last start was second over 525m in 30.29, behind Mepunga Envy. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (24.52) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 7 length fourth. Box stats strong with four wins and two placings from seven starts. Will need some luck to feature.
