Sandown Park Race 9 - Photo Man At Stud
SPARRING (8) boasts a strong record this journey with 11 wins and six minors from 28 tries. In the money last time at this track (29.87) in a Free For All, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. DOONGALLA DON (2) hit the ground running from the squeeze draw with a fast early split last time, but run over late and missed the frame when a 0.7 lengths fourth (26.06) over 460m at Warragul. Expected to feature in the finish. MATCHBOX BEAST (6) hit the frame latest (30.20) when third at this track in a Mix 3/4. Has two wins already from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. LUSH HOUR (4) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (26.06) at Warragul over 460m. Has a superb 29.27 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Was out of the placings last time but before that placed two on end, the most recent when second (19.39) over 350m at Healesville. Tough draw to overcome and will need everything to go her way.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that recorded an outstanding 29.91 over 525m when narrowly beaten, at The Meadows. Has the ability and looks a key chance.
