Sandown Park Race 5 - Grv Distance Racing (0-4 Wins)
FAST REPLY (1) turned in a better effort at The Meadows last start, finishing second behind Power Squeeze (43.47) in a Grade 4/5. Has the pace to be prominent. Must come into calculations. GARNET GLOW (2) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Del Amitri (35.14) in a Restricted WIN. Has the pace to be prominent. Leading player again. RAPIDO SPIRIT (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (42.88) in a Grade 5 at this track. Form here sound including four wins. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MEPUNGA SANDY (7) warrants respect following a recent placing.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on November 4 over 730m at The Meadows behind Power Squeeze beaten 11 lengths (43.47). Looks a strong winning hope.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. Last start finished seventh over 595m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.
