George Farrugia has sunk his teeth into tonight’s meeting at Sandown Park and has identified some standouts.
George and I joined John Henry on RSN yesterday, kicking off a new and evolving show that will be a staple of the RSN line up on Wednesdays and Fridays from 12pm – bringing you the latest news, opinions and tips focusing on Victoria's city meetings.
Tonight's set at Sandown Park:
Race 1, Elliott (1)
He was good on debut and he was in a final where the greyhounds in the Maiden final following have gone on to do some nice things. From speaking to Paul I sense he's got a wrap on this greyhound. He should be hard to beat.
Race 6, Paw Lou Lou (1)
She's stepping up to the 595m, ran 29.39 a couple of starts ago, didn't get into a good position last start, I think she'll hold a forward position and be pretty hard to beat.
Race 8, Smooth Plane (6)
He's one of my favourite greyhounds. People said he couldn't win the National Sprint in Adelaide and he almost did after bombing the start. He's got a vacant box on his inside and is suited to switching between 500 and 600 metres.
*Selections were on the table before markets were open
Also of note…Race 8 , Flying Zulu (7)
He's absolutely flying. He's won 10 of his past 12 races including a Group 1 Brisbane Cup and a couple of Free-For-Alls for fun. He was stunning at The Meadows last Saturday, he set the fastest time of the year and lit up the sectionals – click here for the Race Data.
Tonight he meets Fred Rose who won last week's Free-For-All at Sandown Park with a mammoth run home.
