Sandown Park Race 10 - The Nationals 25-30 August
MI AMIGO DIABLO (4) goes very well this course and distance starting eight times for four wins and three minors. Missed the frame latest (30.30) when fifth over 515m at this track in a Grade 5. Looks well placed and should feature. DEWANA HALF TAIL (6) charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 3.5 lengths winner (29.93) over 525m at The Meadows. Won at her only start from this draw. Expected to measure up again. BRAVE ISLAND (2) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last four runs. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on August 6 over 515m at this track behind Promote Tilly beaten 2.75 lengths (30.03). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Winning chance. MORAINE SARA (1) generally performs well from this box.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2 length fourth (30.40) over 525m at The Meadows. Looks a solid contender.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (30.03) over 515m at this track. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 515m at this track beaten 6 lengths (30.30) behind Promote Tilly in a Grade 5 on August 6. Placed two back at this track. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (29.76) over 515m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but can measure up.
