Sandown Park Race 9 - Grv Distance Racing
MEPUNGA DONNA (4) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start seventh (42.20) at Wentworth Park. Solid record here winning four races. Can atone. BEST FOR LAST (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 595m behind Steal The Stage (34.88) in a Grade 4/5. Can figure in the finish. FLYING SARA (2) was in the minors two back (38.72) at Ballarat but ran below best last time at Bendigo, finishing 6th. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Should play a prominent role. PERFECT RATIO (7) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (38.72) at big odds over 660m at Ballarat. Draws an inside box and is worth plenty of thought.

Was out of placings last time (42.20) at Wentworth Park in a NG, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 595m at this track. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
