Form ? https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666539964/race/5

The Watchdog says ? : ARIZONA EYES (3) can be costly at times; however, he looks well graded today and with an ounce of luck early he should be able to run home into the top two. TOUGH TEARS (1) is a mad railer and he should get some cover in the run to the first bend. If he can settle in the top four early, he should be able to hit the scoreboard.

The Watchdog says ? : TYPHOON SAMMY (6) is a star speedster, and he should be leading throughout. KISS YOUR LIPS (1) is racing with confidence and from the good draw she should be in the top two from the outset.

Grade 5

? Sandown Park ? Race 7
? Box 2 ? 515m ⏱ 9:07pm

TAB fixed odds: $3.60 Win

The Watchdog says ?: Strong race but WELL GROUNDED (2) is racing with confidence and he was enormous when placed here last Thursday night. He should have enough pace to cross FABRIOLA DURAN (1) early and he is very hard to get past when in the clear.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

Strong event and we see the exciting LEVITATION (3) go around again. She has recorded some blistering wins here in recent weeks; however, she does rise in class tonight and she can’t afford to make any mistakes. Group 2 Geelong Gold Cup winner WEBLEC JET (4) caught the eye when placed at Warrnambool last time and he is slowly getting back to his best. The box draw hasn’t done him any favours, but he does have good muster and if he can settle in the top three, he will figure prominently. WELL GROUNDED (2) is as honest as they come, and he was enormous when placed here last Thursday night. From the good draw, he should hold a forward spot early and he may prove too strong in the run home.
