Sale Race 8 - Grv Distance Racing
FLEEING (5) comes off a (37.52) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 660m at Bendigo. Has two wins already from this draw. Rates on top and should go close. OPALITE (1) is a handy type who notched her 5th career success when too good (34.65) from Box 5 at Sandown. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Must be included in calculations. MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (2) jumped a wide draw and ran into the minors when third by 9 lengths (42.39) at Sandown in Grade 5. Missed the placings only try here. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to feature again. DUSEN LUNA (7) placed last time out so worth considering.

Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on July 30 over 715m at Sandown behind Amron Toy beaten 9 lengths (42.39). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.75 lengths at Bendigo (37.52) beating Midnight Phantom in a Grade 4/5 on July 24. Looks well placed and can measure up again.
