Sandown Park Race 12 - Download The Watchdog App
BOUNDING CHIEF (2) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing second and beaten one length (30.51) behind Aston Teresa at The Meadows. Good form should continue. TOMMY MARRA (7) was in winning form two back (30.03) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. RING A BLUEY (4) had the drop on the lead before drawing clear to score (26.09) at Warragul in a Grade 5 over 460m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. PAW VINCE (1) is worth consideration.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warragul over 460m in 26.09 last start, beating Shady Lady. In form and expected to run well again.

Finished third at big odds last time (30.56) over 515m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Had been in consistent form with four minors on end before missing the frame last start when eighth (31.26) at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and looks safely held.
