Restricted Win Final

? Sandown Park ? Race 1
? Box 2 ? 515m ⏱ 7:04pm

TAB fixed odds: $2.20 Place

The Watchdog says ?: SAILOR’S GIRL (2) doesn’t have the same high profile as her two kennelmates, however she has brilliant early pace and I’m expecting her to pounce on the lead. If she can steal a break, a top-three finish is on the cards.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

Awesome way to kick off the night with three potential stars doing battle. MOBILE LEGEND (1) has broken the clock everywhere he has gone to date, and he has shown his versatility with the ability to lead or come from off the pace in his races. Kennelmates YAMASAKI BALE (5) and KELSEY BALE (8) are two explosive youngsters by former champion sprinter FERAL FRANKY and they both appear to be the real deal. They are having there first go in town and around two turns, so they will need some luck initially, but whatever they do tonight, they will improve on dramatically.

The Watchdog says ? : ZIGZAG CABANG (2) was enormous behind ASTON FLAME at Horsham last time and he will take a power of beating tonight. SIR CHAMP (2) is a strong type and with GOLDEN SKYROCKET (1) expected to move wide at the bend, he should get a dream run through. TIGGERLONG FLYER (1) has the right draw, and she should be on the pace from the outset.
