Sandown Park Race 4 - Happy Birthday Chef Steve

IN BLOOM (5) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at her last seven runs. Last time finished 3rd on July 9 over 715m at this track behind Ulenta Bale beaten 2.75 lengths (42.60) in a Grade 5. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Overdue and gets her chance. LAKEVIEW LEIGH (4) finished third (29.09) two back at Sale but out of the placings last time when 6th at this track. Worth another chance. MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (7) has been a in top form recording back to back wins and both in best of the card, going 37.15 two back before 39.41 last time. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. In great form and can continue his winning ways. LADY BREANNA (2) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (30.96) over 525m at The Meadows. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw and is in the mix.

Missed the frame last start when a 3.5 lengths sixth (42.64) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Best figures puts her right in this and well worth another chance.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors seven starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (42.60) at this track over 715m. Well-performed from this draw. Key chance on best form.
