Sandown Park Race 12

Sportsbet Nobody Does It Easier

Stake: $9,576

OBSTROPALOUS (1) goes very well this trip starting 29 times for 14 wins and 10 minors. In the money last time at Bendigo (24.26) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths second. Makes strong appeal on best. HILL TOP JACK (2) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (30.62) last time in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Has a good record here including eight wins. The form out of his last race has been franked. Cannot be taken lightly. MR. FAHRENHEIT (8) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 2 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 30.40 beating Hay Riley. Expected to measure up again. MISS MARY JO (3) jumped best and was never headed last time. Sure to figure prominently.

In the money last time at Bendigo (24.26) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths second. Strong record off the draw with three wins and two minors from six starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.62) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Has four successes and four minors from 14 starts from box 2. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Solid performance to win by a neck at this track over 515m (30.10) beating Sam's Universe in Mix 6/7 on June 27. The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fifth (29.96) at this track. Has ability but this tough and will need some luck to feature.
