Sandown Park Race 8 - Handball Competition Next Thursday
TIM ZOO (6) ran below best last time finishing fifth (25.77) over 457m at Temora from Box 4. Has won five of seven starts from this draw. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. YACHI BALE (7) has a strong overall record having 18 wins and 32 places from 75 starts including a last start third (26.03) over 460m at Geelong. Has a good record here at this journey. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. SHIMA STEEL (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at The Meadows over 525m behind Cruising Debbie (30.74) in a Grade 4/5. Worth following up. MEPUNGA OLLIE (8) can measure up with the right run.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 515m at this track. That followed a win two back in 24.13 beating Donita Bale over 435m at Sale. Others hold stronger claims.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, must be included.
