Sandown Park Race 7 - Great Chase (1-5 Wins) Ht5
MEPUNGA TURBO (7) was a last start winner (29.12) from Box 1 at this track. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with three wins from three starts. Can continue the winning form. KIWI BIRCHIP (8) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 3rd on September 26 over 525m at The Meadows behind Stidham Arizona beaten 6 lengths (30.14) in a Mix 6/7. Expected to feature again. UNITED GEORGE (4) is a quick beginner who bombed the start last time and missed the frame, finishing sixth (30.26) in a Restricted WIN at this track. The start before hit the ground running and won (30.26) at this track. Got the money at his only try from this box. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. XARA'S KEITH (2) is new to this circuit but is worth considering.
