Sandown Park Race 5 - Mckenna Memorial Ht2
BAROOGA JIM (6) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 34.47 beating Melvin Bale. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. URANA XAVIER (1) has a strong record this journey here with four wins and a minor from nine starts. Placed last time (34.60) at The Meadows in a Free For All, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. DEADLY COOL (4) is better than last start when seventh (30.11) in a Special conditions H at this track over 515m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Shapes as one to consider. GOLD CODE (2) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a two-start winning streak, but could only manage second (32.51) at Traralgon. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors.

Far too good last start to win by 10 lengths at Traralgon over 570m (32.64) beating Feikuai Calvin in Grade 4/5 on June 12. Others read better.

Well supported last time and ran up to expectations, burning early to score a 4.5 lengths win at this track over 595m in 34.47. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Was out of placings last time (30.53) at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5, finishing eighth and beaten 8 lengths. Box stats strong with three wins and two placings from six starts. Will need the right run.
