SANDOWN PARK, RACE 5 BOX 3, 7:28PM

Toolleen mentor Rodney Clark should be in for a ‘Kraken’ time at Sandown Park tonight.

Clark has a ‘terrific triumvirate’ engaged on the 12-event fixture, and all three are The Watchdog’s primary selection in their respective races.

First cab off the rank is Kraken Lightning (Race 5, Box 3) in a Grade 5 over 515 metres.

The near-faultless beginner has raced on 59 occasions for 23 wins, 13 seconds and seven thirds. Her Sandown Park record reads five starts for two wins and two thirds, including a flying 29.44sec personal best on June 6 this year.

Twenty-four minutes later, kennelmate Kraken Dust (Race 6, Box 6) lines up in a Mixed 4/5 over 715 metres. A versatile type (with 12 wins, 16 seconds and five thirds from 45 starts), Kraken Dust recently finished a creditable second at his Sandown Park staying debut.

Finally, Head Loch (Race 11, Box 1) contests a Mixed 3/4 over 515 metres. He has notched two wins, three seconds and one third from seven starts over Sandown Park’s sprint trip, including a slick 29.47sec personal best on February 7 this year.

And his record from the coveted ‘red’ alley is exemplary – 10 starts for two wins, two seconds and three thirds. His overall record reads 16 wins, 15 seconds and 10 thirds from 64 starts.
