Sandown Park Race 10 - Happy Birthday Kris
BIOLLANTE (4) was a strong winner (29.47) from box 3 last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths at this track. Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Expected to measure up again. RHYTHMIC ENERGY (2) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races, hitting the line hard to score two back then came home strongly into second (29.85) in a Grade 5 at this track last time. Has a good record at this journey. The form out of last race has been strong. Expecting another good run. PERFECT PICTURE (8) was a little disappointing last start at The Meadows when 4th (30.20) over 525m. Has a strong winning record here at this journey including two wins. Expected to feature in the finish. IAN ALBERT (1) was below best last time at this track (30.02) in a Grade 4, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has already won two times from this draw.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 3.5 lengths in a Mix 6/7 last start at this track, clocking a slick 29.47 over the 515m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Good effort to win last start by a long neck over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.22), beating Opawa Postman. Will find this a bit tougher, this will test.

Missed the frame latest (30.22) when fourth over 515m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and three places from seven starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd over 530m at Angle Park beaten 2.75 lengths (30.73) behind Shrewd in a Special conditions race on September 17. Rates highly on best form. Must include.
