Sandown Park Race 2 - Maidment Memorial 23 January 2025
URANA XAVIER (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 0.6 lengths second (30.05) in a Maiden FIN at The Meadows. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Winning claims. SHIMA SEAL (4) hit the ground running and never headed to claim a maiden victory two back then finished a 0.8 lengths second last start at this track over 515m (29.72). Expecting another good run. FAGES (8) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at all four career runs, winning two back before finishing second last time (30.26) over 525m at The Meadows. Rates a winning chance on best. MONEY PALACE (6) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Won two starts back on debut over 525m at The Meadows. Last start he finished 2nd on December 14 over 525m at The Meadows behind Shima Blush beaten 0.6 lengths (30.05) in a Maiden FIN. Draw likely to suit. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 460m in 26.24. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 460m at Warragul at Mix 6/7 FIN level. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (29.72) at this track over 515m. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 515m at this track. Others have better credentials.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 7 on December 11 over 525m at The Meadows behind No Iron Team beaten 1.1 lengths (30.26). Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.
