Sandown Park Race 9 - Sandown Vet Clinic

BRINDLE SURPRISE (1) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts two wins and two placings. Scored by 5 lengths last time (34.43) in a Grade 4/5 over 600m at The Meadows. Expected to be in the finish. MEPUNGA ZIRCON (4) has a big motor and ideally suited at the longer trips. Kept coming to fill the minor placings over 595m at this track (34.44) in a Grade 5. Strike rate this distance strong having won three of five tries. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading chance. CHAMPLAIN (2) has a strong record here with five wins and two placings from 11 starts. Was out of placings last time (35.00) at The Meadows in a Grade 5 H, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. URANA PARALLAX (5) should be thereabouts.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 34.44 over 595m at this track. Expected to go very well.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 515m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.60) in a Grade 4, finishing a 10 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Will need the right run.
