Sandown Park Race 2

Dymocks Books

Stake: $9,751

GALENTO (5) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his brilliant win three back, getting around Horsham over 410m in 23.17. Has the ability and looks hard to top. BETTY'S GARDEN (3) was in the money last time at this track (29.87) in a Grade 5, finishing a half a length second. Unbeaten in three runs from this draw. Among the main chances. WEBLEC BILLY (8) scored (29.81) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. ZADIE (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Finished off last campaign with a sixth (31.14) in a GR 5 at this track five months ago. Looks a danger to the top hope.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (26.36) over 460m at Geelong. Aided by a low draw and in the mix on his best form.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 4.5 lengths third (29.86) over 515m at this track. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 5, scoring three times. Go close.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 515m at this track in 29.81, set up by a fast early sectional. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.
