Sandown Park Race 11 - St Peters Dads
DOONGALLA DON (7) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 2.75 lengths (25.90) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 460m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. The one to beat again. CRACKERJACK GARY (5) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from Geraldton Crew in third (27.56) at Horsham. Winning chance. BANDIT SWAGGER (1) has a strong record here with three wins and four placings from nine starts. Was out of placings last time (30.19) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. XARA NAVY (2) returns here with a good chance to improve on last time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 515m at this track. Looks up against it this time.

Improved sharply when third behind Paw Niall at Horsham last start over 485m (27.64). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.
