Sandown Park Race 4 - Sandown Vet
CHARLESTOWN (1) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at The Meadows, scoring by 2 lengths (34.29). Looks a top chance again. ENGELKE ROAD (4) placed last time (36.87) at Sale in a Special conditions race, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Has three wins already from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. PAW TORRIE (8) was safely held in tougher company last start after being shuffled back early at this track, but prior to that won by 2 lengths at The Meadows (34.70) beating Yaya Sally in a Grade 5 on February 7. Cannot be taken lightly. KING OF SNAKE (7) will have admirers after placing last time out.

Missed the frame latest (42.79) when fifth over 715m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from seven starts. Others rate better this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 595m at this track. Not among the main chances this time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at The Meadows over 730m in 44.03. Followed that up with a minor placing over 650m at Shepparton at Grade 5 a week-and-a-half ago. Has ability and worth including.
