Sandown Park Race 11 - Book Golf Day 19 October
MAXI GRIN (6) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at The Meadows in a handy 30.24 beating Paw Quiver. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. Can continue on his winning ways. HARTLAND WILLOW (3) comes off a (29.64) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 515m at this track. Has two wins already from this draw. Can feature in the finish. HOLDEN BALE (1) comes off an average run last start when seventh at this track over 515m behind Awesome Bandit (30.11) in a Grade 5. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings six times from 10 attempts. Has the ability to give this a shake. HURRICANE (2) must be respected at his pet track and distance.

Missed the frame latest (30.11) when seventh over 515m at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed six times. Makes appeal on best.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 4 length third (25.44) over 450m at Ballarat and making it two placings on end. Rates among the chances this time.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 515m in 29.64 last start, beating Attica Blue. Recorded the quickest time on the card last time. Stay with her.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 510m at Sale. Likely to struggle this time.
