Sandown Park Race 9 - Grv Vicbred Series Ht4
HUGO ROSE (4) finds it hard to win but has a consistent overall record, having placed 12 of 25 career runs. Continues to race well, filling the minors at the last five starts, the latest when third (26.23) at Warragul. Deserves serious consideration. HEY PRESTO (8) won again in quick time after leading to make it back to back wins, scoring by 1.3 lengths (34.48) at this track over 595m. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can measure up again. MORNING (6) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Traralgon in a handy 23.94 beating Kuebiko. Expected to feature again. AZZURRO WREN (2) is in the mix after a close-up placing last start.

Backs up after winning by a long neck at Warragul (26.24) beating Point Break in a Grade 4/5 on August 4 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
