Daily Dogs – Thursday, February 16

Sandown Park: Race 4 (7:55pm AEDT)
No. 6 Magic Muffin

Magic Muffin takes winning form into the fourth at Sandown Park tonight and can make it two in a row.

The daughter of Fernando Bale has won four of her last eight starts, placing a further two times and finding form around some talented chasers.

She can use her box speed to overcome the draw and with appropriate luck, I think she’ll prove too good.

Sandown Park: Race 5 (8:13pm AEDT)
No. 4 Astra Bale

Astra Bale is another chaser that can go straight to the lead and make all of her own luck at Sandown Park tonight.

The daughter of Barcia Bale has returned some typically excellent performances recently, and she wasn’t far from the winner at her last two.

If she steps well tonight, I think she’ll lead all the way.

Sandown Park: Race 7 (8:58pm AEDT)
No. 2 Meteor Monelli

Meteor Monelli is drawn to receive all of the favours in Race 7 at Sandown Park tonight, and he can return to winning form.

The classy son of Zack Monelli has struck in two of his last four races, and was particularly dominant over the 525m course at The Meadows two starts back.

He maps to go forward tonight and will give them something to chase.

Sandown Park: Race 10 (10:01pm AEDT)
Same Race Multi

Zara Marnie is a star on the rise and can return to winning form in Race 10 at Sandown Park tonight.

The daughter of Bernardo has made only six appearances at the races since debuting, but has won three times, and was only denied by one over this route last week.

I’m going to select her as the winner in a Same Race Multi and pump up my odds with Wharfie running into the first three and Zivon Bale running into the first four.

Our Same Race Multi selections are:

  • 8 Zara Marnie (Win)
  • 3 Wharfie (Top 3)
  • 2 Zivon Bale (Top 4)
