Sandown Park Race 2 - Book Christmas In July Packages
MISTER RICO (7) could not have been more impressive last start in his slick 29.53 win at this track in a Mix 6/7 over 515m. Expected to push the clock again here. DIVINE FEELINGS (1) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from five tries. Was out of the placings last time (30.58) at this track in a Restricted WIN, finishing fourth and beaten 11 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. OKAY BOSS (2) placed last time (38.32) at Bendigo in a Group Listed, finishing second and beaten 0.6 lengths. Has already won out of this draw. Suited here and expected to run well. PHANTOM QUARTZ (6) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (38.32) at Bendigo over 660m. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Restricted WIN on July 2 over 515m at this track behind Brooklyn Girl beaten 2 lengths (29.93). In form and another win would not surprise.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 29.53 with a 6 length win at this track over 515m. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
