Sandown Park Race 9 - Sportsbet Green Tick
MEPUNGA SHADOW (6) turned in a solid run last start over 515m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (30.04). Yet to win at the journey but has run some good races. Looks the one to beat on his best form. MOTOR CITY ROSSI (2) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from six starts. Hit the frame latest (34.81) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Looks one of the chances. FAST KNOCKDOWN (4) last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on May 8 over 680m at Geelong behind In Bloom beaten 7 lengths (39.59). Can feature in the finish. STUNNER (1) can sneak into the finish.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 6 length third (35.34) over 600m at The Meadows. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Looks close to another win after his success on May 28 at this track over 595m. Last start was third over 595m in 34.81, behind Radar O'reilly. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (30.04) at this track over 515m. Should prove hard to beat.

Has finished fifth at the last two runs, both at The Meadows, the latest when beaten 3.5 lengths behind Urana Taurus over 600m. Likely to find this too tough.
