Sandown Park Race 9 - Happy Birthday Jason Mckeown
ATTICUS (2) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (26.45) at Warragul in a Restricted WIN. Can turn form around here. BIG WATCH (4) was a winner two back when prominent throughout then got further back last time and could manage only a 6 length 4th at The Meadows (30.65). Expected to give a good account. INDIAN STAR (8) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 3rd at The Meadows over 525m. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expected to feature again. DUNDEE SPIKE (6) is right in the mix.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 515m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 460m at Warragul beaten 5 lengths (26.45) behind Indy's Charm in a Restricted WIN on August 11. Placed two back at The Meadows. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Won two starts back when well in the market at The Meadows over 525m. Last start finished last on August 12 over 525m at The Meadows behind Victory Barry beaten 6 lengths (30.65) in a Mix 6/7 H. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Bendigo over 425m. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
