Sandown Park Race 2 - Douggie Pereira Memorial
PAW CORNELIUS (1) flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a 4 length third (24.22) over 425m at Bendigo. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Top prospect. COMPTON GYPSY (7) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (30.38) at Wentworth Park over 520m. Worth following up. MILLY LILY (2) is a handy type who was well below best latest at Healesville, finishing seventh (19.98) in a Grade 4/5. Generally safe to begin but was always well back last time. Great chance to atone. NOSEY BLUEY (3) is likely to have admirers.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (24.22) at Bendigo over 425m. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Ordinary effort last start when she was slow out over 350m at Healesville. Prior to that won by a long neck at Sale (28.87) beating Dr. Tracie in a R/A FIN on September 27. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 515m at this track. That followed a win two back in 30.34 beating Wyong Houston over 525m at The Meadows. Hard to entertain this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.95) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has three wins and two placings from nine starts from the draw. Has ability and should be around the money.
