Sandown Park Race 9 - Sandowngreyhounds.com.au
OVERLAND BOY (1) placed in a Grade 5 when a 7 length third this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (34.66) and also clocked one of the quickest times on the card. In form and looks the one to beat again. HECTOR DARCY (2) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (34.88) at this track over 595m. Has never been out of the placings from three starts out of this box. Overdue and gets his chance. ASTON GOZO (8) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 2.25 lengths (34.67) at The Meadows. Harder here but expected to feature again. CHAMPLAIN (7) was in the money last start in fast time - poses a threat again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 7 length third (34.66) over 595m at this track and making it two placings on end. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (34.88) at this track over 595m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Missed the frame latest (34.74) when fourth over 600m at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 2 lengths at The Meadows over 600m (34.70) beating Yaya Sally in Grade 5 on February 7. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.
