Sandown Park Race 9

Rch Good Friday Appeal

Stake: $9,960

PAW WHITLEY (8) missed the frame but ran a quick fifth at Geelong over 520m in 29.94. Top run latest and looms as the one to beat. IRISH NIKKI (5) is a progressive type who recorded her 12th career win last time out (29.45) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Has definite claims. LASSARD (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (30.59) when seventh over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Will need some luck to feature.

Comments

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (30.20) over 525m at The Meadows. Drawn a inside box but will need everything to go his way.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 515m in 29.45 last start, beating Shima Time. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a speedy 29.89 over 520m when narrowly beaten, at Geelong. Looms as the one to beat this time.
