Sandown Park Race 4

Geelong To Sandown Park Final

Stake: $9,870

HIGHLY ABRASIVE (8) is proven over this distance range and he should be able to clear them at the bend. FLYING DOORMAT (2) can run the hands off the clock and he just needs to clear the red early on. SHORTY BOY (7) is a serious prospect

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by one length at Geelong (26.10) beating Lamia Wheeze in a Grade 5 H on August 8. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.

Hit the frame latest (26.24) when third at Geelong in a Grade 5 H. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Key chance and should go close.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Geelong over 460m in 25.94 last start, beating Doongalla Nomes. Can measure up again with the right run.

In sparkling form, last time showing blistering early pace and proving too slick around Geelong over 460m in 25.66, making it four wins on end. In hot form and can take this out.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warragul over 460m. Last start finished 4th over 460m at Geelong beaten 5 lengths (26.26) behind Shorty Boy in a Grade 5 H on August 8. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
