Sandown Park Race 4 - Hole In One Comp 2 April
ENGELKE ROAD (7) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (42.25) at this track in a Grade 5 over 715m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. CHARLESTOWN (8) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 3 lengths (42.06) at this track. Should be in this for a long way. PAW TORRIE (4) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner three back (34.70) at The Meadows over 600m. Can find the frame this time. KING OF SNAKE (2) found the frame here last start and looks a top-three hope again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 715m at this track. Hard to entertain this time.
