Sandown Park Race 4 - Christmas In July At Sandown
MEPUNGA GYPSY (8) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey having won two of four starts. Comes off a (29.85) win last time, scoring by 1.2 lengths in a Mix 6/7 over 515m at this track. Expected to go close. DASHING JIFFY (2) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 1.2 lengths second over 515m at this track, clocking 29.94. Will give a great sight again. PAW SHERVINGTON (6) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (22.49) at Ballarat in a Mix 6/7. Lines up from box 6 for the first time. Can feature again. RANGER RIOT (7) gave nothing else a chance most recently. Sure to run well again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 390m at Shepparton. Prepared to risk.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 1.2 lengths second over 515m this track in 29.94. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at Shepparton to win by 1.5 lengths in 25.37, beating Whipstick Bobbi. Last start finished 5th in a Mix 6/7 H on June 17 over 525m at The Meadows behind Dewana Family beaten 13 lengths (30.68). Others make more appeal.
