Sandown Park Race 3 - Home Of The Sportsbet Melb. Cup
BLINKED (4) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (26.18) over 460m at Warragul. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Racing well and deserves a win. GALLOPING DEMI (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (23.11) last time in a Grade 7 at Warragul. Likely to be about the money. RICOLINA PEARL (1) is better than last start when fourth (26.34) in a Mix 6/7 at Warragul over 460m. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. BIG DUKE (3) cannot be dismissed although new to this distance.

Won two starts back over 400m at Warragul. Last start she finished 4th over 460m at Warragul beaten 5.5 lengths (26.34) behind Galloping Red in a Mix 6/7 on December 5. Draw likely to suit. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (26.13) over 460m at Geelong. Draws an inside box and is in the mix.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (26.18) at Warragul over 460m. Key chance on best form.
