Sandown Park Race 2 - Happy Birthday Neil Brown

OKLAHOMA BALE (2) flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (30.04) over 515m at this track. Key runner on his best form. MEPUNGA RULE (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (30.38) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form here sound including two wins. Has ability and is one of the better chances. COUNT THE STARS (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (25.65) in a Grade 4/5 at Warrnambool. One of the main contenders. REGAL SPENCER (8) is not to be discarded.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (25.65) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 10 length sixth. Has two wins and four placings from 12 starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.75 lengths fourth (30.04) over 515m at this track. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (26.30) over 460m at Geelong. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.
