Sandown Park Race 12 - Sandown Vet Clinic Damsels Dash
MORAINE SARA (2) turned in a solid run last start over 515m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (30.08). Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Should bounce back. CHATTERBUG (5) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 515m behind Victory Barry (30.34) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. One of the better chances. NOVA ROSE (3) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at this track over 515m behind Mepunga Turbo (30.20) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Deserves plenty of respect. ZIPPING TESFAY (1) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at Capalaba (19.58) beating Scrub's Blue in a Grade 4/5 on August 16. Has ability and worth including.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.08) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length fourth. Box stats strong with four wins and three placings from nine starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by one length at Addington (30.08) beating Dalgety in a R/A H on July 23. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
