Potential topliner Levitation is expected to win for the fourth time in her last five starts in a 515m Restricted Win heat at Sandown Park this afternoon in a meeting that features a number of promising youngsters.

Kysaiah lines up against Pink Diamond Princess winner Sweet Petit, Storm Stroller is aiming to stretch his winning streak to five races versus fellow star prospect Paua Of Mindy, and Just Like Mick is favoured to boost his strike rate.

At Sale this evening, Magical Mavis is eyeing her fifth straight win, while Smokin’ Zag v Dr. Madison v Omega Dodge should be a competitive event.

The Watchdog says ? : APOLLO ONE (8) is a straight track specialist and he likes to stay wide in his races, so with a clean getaway, he should get into the clear straight away and there will be no excuses. JUST LIKE MICK (1) is a serious up-and-comer and he appears to have a fair bit on his rivals today.

Restricted Win Heat

? Sandown Park ? Race 5
? 515m ⏱ 3:27pm

The Watchdog says ?: LEVITATION (2) is a star prospect and should win with ease. DAYLEN BALE (7) is suited by the wide draw and can run into second. SODA FIZZ (1) and PAZIENZA (4) can dispute third.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

It’s only a field of five, however we get to see the exciting LEVITATION (2) go around. She has won her past two here in blistering fashion and she appears to be the real deal. With the scratching of POSTMAN PICKETT (8), there is very little early speed engaged, so with an even getaway, she should be able to pounce on the lead and another sub 29.30sec win could be on the cards. DAYLEN BALE (7) is suitably drawn out wide and SODA FIZZ (1) is a strong type, so they are the two likely runners to fill the placings.
