Sandown Park Race 8 - Laurels Classic Ht4
TARAWI THERESE (1) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (25.11) at Shepparton in a Grade 4/5 over 450m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Can continue the winning form. DASHING SLAY (4) was out of placings last time (30.36) at Angle Park in a OPEN, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Loves this draw, having won three of five starts. Looks a key chance on best figures. KATIE BELL (3) missed the frame last time but just three runs back was a strong Maiden winner (25.53) at Warrnambool over 450m. Can hit the frame this time. SHE'S PRIMED (2) will give backers a sight.

In hot form winning her last three on end, the latest pinging the lids with a sensational early split and clocking 25.11 over 450m at Shepparton. Looks well placed and can measure up again.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 6th on October 23 over 400m at Warragul behind Little Fast Bull beaten 4 lengths (23.61) in a Grade 5. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Could only manage second last time out over 450m at Ballarat, breaking a winning sequence. Other runners look much more appealing.
