Sandown Park Race 8 - Photo Man At Stud
TRENDY ART (6) did a good job to finish third last time out over 515m at this track (30.06) in a Grade 4/5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Meets a moderate line up and rates on top this time. MORNING BOSS (7) had been going along well winning a Grade 5 three back then placing at this track before missing the frame latest when fourth (25.83) at Warragul. Can feature with the right run. CRACKERJACK HOPS (1) led throughout to score two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 13 length 6th at this track (30.32). Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. One of the main contenders. WINNING RATIO (5) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.
