Sandown Park Race 4 - Sandowngreyhounds.com.au
FLYING ROYCE (3) box seated before sticking on well to finish 4.5 lengths away in third (37.16) at Sale in a Special conditions race over 640m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance again. FLYING ROGUE (4) missed the frame last time at The Meadows but was a Restricted WIN H winner the start prior (34.61) and goes well this course. Can find the frame this time. SO HE THINKS (6) was out of the placings last time when fifth at Ballarat (31.12) but scored five back at this track (29.82). Returns to favourable track. The form out of last race has been strong. Key runner on best form. PEPPER PIE (2) will need to repeat last run to feature.

Was out of placings last time when seventh (39.08) at Ballarat in a Restricted WIN H. Will jump from box 1 for the first time. Suited here and expected to run well.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 595m at this track in a handy (34.51), beating Dark Miracle. Has ability and worth including.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 4.5 lengths third over 640m at Sale, clocking 37.16. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Placed at both starts this track and trip. Last start finished 5th over 600m at The Meadows beaten 11 lengths (35.10) behind Mepunga Phantom in a R/A FIN on August 8. Capable of a strong show.

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 8 length third (34.89) over 600m at The Meadows. Hasn't been far away recently and can feature in the finish.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a quick 31.03 over 545m finishing second at Ballarat. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at Bendigo. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
