Sandown Park Race 9 - Thr33 Series Ht3

BARKING BLUE (1) filled a minor placing last start at Healesville behind Greta's Gold (20.04) in a Grade 5. Sure to be about the mark. VESTA BALE (6) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (30.33) at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit. Has ability and can measure up. SURF'S UP (8) doesn't win out of turn. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (23.25) at Warragul. Has a good record here including two wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Winning chance. MISTER MANFREDI (2) is another with top-three prospects.

Good effort last time when third (18.59) over 320m at Wagga. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.33) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
