Sale Race 9 - Darren Platt

DR. HOPPER (4) comes off an average effort last start when seventh at Sandown over 515m behind Uncle Stiltskin (30.28) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Better than last start and worth following up. AKINA SARI (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and three minors from 12 tries. Missed the frame latest (25.08) when seventh over 435m at this track in a Grade 4. Can feature in the finish. THUNDER ROSE (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (24.97) in a Free For All at this track. Form here at the trip sound including nine wins. The form out of last race has been strong. Worth another chance. DR. BENEDICT (7) is worth including after a top-three finish at this track and distance most recently.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (24.78) over 435m at this track. The form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.
