Sandown Park Race 12 - Sandowngreyhounds.com.au
MEPUNGA SPIRIT (7) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at The Meadows over 525m behind Paw Vada (30.97) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. The form out of last race has been strong. Can bounce back. MIGHTY MISS (4) clocked a solid 28.17 when winning over 500m at Bendigo last start. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. MISTER MANFREDI (1) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at Ballarat over 545m behind House Of Sins (31.48) in a Special conditions race. Has ability and can atone. PERFECT SYMPHONY (2) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 435m at Sale clocking 24.46. Yet to win but has been in the placings five times from this draw. Worth thought.

Missed the frame latest (28.96) when fifth over 510m at Sale in a Grade 4/5. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by at Bendigo over 500m (28.17) beating Liddell in Grade 5 on July 31. Recorded two placings in a row before she was rewarded with a win most recently. Expected to go well again.

Well supported here last start but let backers down, finishing finished 5th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 7 lengths (30.97) behind Paw Vada in a Grade 5 on July 25. Placed two back at The Meadows. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.
