Sandown Park Race 10 - Photo Man At Stud
NIGEL DEVERE (1) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.1 lengths (34.67) behind Mepunga Donna at The Meadows. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Ready to find winning form. VIKING RULER (4) hit the ground running last start and was never headed (34.90) at The Meadows in Restricted WIN H over 600m. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. OKLAHOMA BALE (2) did a good job to finish third last time out over 450m at Ballarat (25.46) in a Special conditions H, the second top-three finish on the trot. Expected to bounce back to best. MAGIC SNOWDROP (6) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (34.67) over 600m at The Meadows. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Is back up to 595m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when third over 450m at Ballarat five days ago. Thereabouts at his last couple and is capable of better.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 600m at The Meadows by 2.5 lengths in a Restricted WIN H. Looks to have an edge on most of these.
