Sandown Park Race 4 - Sportsbet Ht1
BLAZING BLUE ICE (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when third (30.37) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Deserves serious consideration. MONEY PALACE (1) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when second (35.19) in a Grade 5 over 600m at The Meadows. Key player on best and worth another try. DUNDEE SKYE (7) was never in contention last time after drifting back at Bendigo, but prior to that won by half a length at Bendigo (24.03) beating Paw Olympus in a Special conditions H on September 25. The form out of last race has been strong. One of the better hopes. LADY TSUNADE (4) cannot be underestimated.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Mt Gambier (22.96) beating Bali Unleashed in a Other on September 24. Major threat on best form.

Has finished last in her last couple of starts, most recently at Wentworth Park over 520m. Would be better placed in something easier.

Showed blistering pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fifth over 425m Bendigo in 23.89. Capable of a good showing.

Returns from a five months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 457m at Manawatu. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
