Sandown Park Race 6 - Hole In One Comp 2 April
CHAMPAGNE CUDDLE (1) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (29.79) at this track. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from five starts. Tough to beat if on-song. KIWI GEORGE (8) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last five runs. Last time finished 2nd over 515m at this track beaten 1.3 lengths (29.69) behind Ian Albert in a Grade 5 on February 12. Likely to be in the finish again. IMPRESS MOANA (2) shapes well after a respectable run last time, finishing third in a Grade 4/5 at Shepparton in 25.42. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. NOVA OWEN (5) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Was out of placings last time (29.79) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including three wins. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (29.54) over 515m at this track. Aided by a low draw but will need everything to go his way.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 450m at Shepparton. Needs to find a bit more.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Sale (28.90) beating Tommy The Hood in a R/A FIN on February 15 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 2 length win at Shepparton over 450m in 25.18. Won at his only start from this draw. Worth following.
