Sandown Park Race 4

Thank You Alba Gomez

Prize Money: $10,375

DERRY (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (42.47) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Boasts two wins from five starts out of this box. Can discover winning form. LAKEVIEW IAN (5) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (42.26) at this track behind WHISKEY WHISKERS in a Grade 4/5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to be in the finish again. WHISKEY WHISKERS (1) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 1.3 lengths (42.18). Rates a leading chance again. MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (7) must be respected at his pet distance.

Missed the frame latest (43.53) when fifth over 730m at Angle Park in a OPEN. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Makes appeal on best.
