Sandown Park Race 2 - Ballarat To Sandown Final
PAW MONET (3) is a smart dog who led throughout to score last time at Sale (24.12), making it three straight wins. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Flying at the moment and expecting another big run. MEPUNGA EXPRESS (4) was a winner two back when prominent throughout then got further back last time and could manage only a 3.5 lengths 3rd at Ballarat (25.30). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can measure up. SPARRING (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and two minors from 12 tries. Recorded a 6 length win (24.67) in a Mix 4/5 H last time at Ballarat. Looks a key chance on best figures. DOONGALLA MIMIC (1) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot at big odds most recently.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 7 length third (25.22) over 450m at Ballarat. Thereabouts and rates well in this. Expected to run well.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 460m. Last start finished 3rd over 450m at Ballarat beaten 3.5 lengths (25.30) behind Paw Monet in a Mix 4/5 H on October 7. Has a sharp 29.49 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.
