Sandown Park Race 4 - Happy Birthday Kat Stuart
QUINLEE BALE (1) caught the eye when clocking a speedy 34.50 over 600m at The Meadows three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. MEANINGFUL (2) missed the hat-trick last start when fifth and beaten 6 lengths (35.08) last time at The Meadows. Solid record at the distance winning three races. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. ELITE ONE (5) has a big motor and ideally suited at the longer trips. Was a winner last time (30.19) over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5 and is even better suited at the extra journey. Has a strong record at this distance including four wins. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. VICTORY BARRY (8) must be included in calculations.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 3.5 lengths second (30.25) over 525m at The Meadows and making it two placings on end. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 1, scoring two times. Go close.

Won two starts back when well in the market at The Meadows over 600m. Last start finished 5th on October 3 over 600m at The Meadows behind Steal The Stage beaten 6 lengths (35.08) in a R/A FIN. Had won two on end prior to the latest effort. Can atone.

Scored by a neck last time (30.19) in a Grade 5 over 525m at The Meadows. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from six starts. Looks one of the chances.

Did a good job two starts back at The Meadows to win by a long neck in 29.87, beating Tandanya. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 4/5 on October 3 over 600m at The Meadows behind Magic Loki beaten 2.25 lengths (34.73). Has claims if at his best.
