Sandown Park Race 5 - Book Tickets For The Nationals
MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (7) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 660m at Bendigo, running a useful 37.63 in a Grade 4/5. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. PAW QUINBY (6) last start finished 6th over 600m at The Meadows beaten 4 lengths (35.06) behind Zipping Columbus in a Grade 4/5 on July 25. Looks a key player on best form. AMRON TOY (1) is an honest type in the frame at 10 of 32 starts including last time when second (42.41) over 730m at The Meadows. Solid record here winning four races. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. MEPUNGA DONNA (8) produced a convincing 42.53 despite finishing fourth last start. Can measure up here.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 42.41 over 730m at The Meadows. Goes very well from this draw including five wins. Solid prospects.

In the money last time at Bendigo (37.91) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length third. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Others rate better this time.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (34.90) at big odds over 595m at this track. Has a low draw but needs to find best form to feature.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 500m at Bendigo. Not up to this.

Missed the frame latest (35.06) when sixth over 600m at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Key chance and should go close.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.75 lengths second (37.63) over 660m at Bendigo. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at The Meadows, the latest when beaten 2 lengths behind Magpie Hector over 730m. Has claims on best form.
