Sandown Park Race 1 - Vale Margaret Thomas
REFUTED (8) proved too good on debut over 515m at this track to score by 2.75 lengths (29.70). Boxed wide but has the pace to be prominent. Can continue the winning form. MEPUNGA GYPSY (7) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 6 length second (29.99) over 515m at this track. Winning chance. PRECIOUS ROBE (1) was a strong winner last time by 6 lengths at Warragul in Rank Limit - Restricted Win in the quickest time on the program (26.07). Missed the frame only look here. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Leading chance again. ASTON TARZAN (2) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Settled midfield on debut but made ground. Won by 2.75 lengths at this track (29.70) beating Aston Lorenz in a Maiden on June 29. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Back in top order and looks the one to beat.
