Sandown Park Race 12 - Sportsbet Blackbook
HOPPY (1) is an honest type in the frame at seven of 13 starts including three wins, the latest scoring (29.62) over 515m at this track. Drawn the fence and expected to go close. PRINCESS LASS (2) was in traffic last time here and fell. Rates a leading chance on best. DASH PARR (4) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in his slick 30.03 win at The Meadows over 525m. Expected to feature on best figures. OBLIVIATE (8) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Strong performance to win by 1.75 lengths at this track over 515m (29.62) beating Corban Yaxley in Mix 6/7 on March 26. Can make it two on the bounce.

Won two starts back at Horsham over 410m in 23.53. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 515m at this track at Grade 5 level. Hard to recommend this time.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (30.73) at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 4 this time. Should have the speed for this.

Could only manage fell last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (28.60) over 500m at Bendigo. Has to overcome a wide draw but capable of a better result.
