SANDOWN
BEST BET
HIGH EMOCEAN (R3, No.1 - $4.80)
Consistent filly has placed in six of seven career starts and comes to town after strong Echuca win. Rises sharply in grade and distance but looks to have ability.

NEXT BEST
SHAHZADE (R5, No.2 - $2.80)
Beaten under a length up in grade at Flemington last start. Looking for 1600m now and any rain would enhance her chances.
VALUE BET
GUESS AGAIN (R6, No.3 - $14)
Honest mare with a great first up record (4:2-1-0), drawn to get all the favours and likes the sprint trips.
THE TRAINER
MICK PRICE
QUANTUM MECHANIC (R4, No.4 - $6)
“Same trifecta a couple of weeks ago (with Oriental Lily and Charleise), we get a kilo and the track will be better. She’ll be better on a better track. I think she’ll be competitive, she'll be in the money. Nice filly and she’s going well.”
MISS DAMITA (R8, No.12 - $7.50)
“(Jaden Lloyd) rode her good first up at Ballarat where he tried to avoid the bad ground on the inside to the outside and was beaten a blister. She usually comes on well, she’s been flying since she’s been down at Warrnambool and I think she will be in the money.”
MALISEET (R8, No.2 - $14)
“Grinds away, he’s still getting fit, but I suppose he’ll be there with 200m out whether he can win or not, he’s probably on the march towards 2000m.”
BOOMSTOCK (R8, No.9 - $4.60
“Has had every possible chance in his last couple and beautifully ridden by Jamie Kah and has not been able to win. I make no excuses for the horse. There’s no improvement in Boomstock, he hasn't gone backwards but there's no improvement.”
