PAKENHAM   15 May 2026
 
GOING: S(6)

Sandown Lodge Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. SALARIA (7) is knocking on the door and looks well placed third up from a spell. Both runs have been very good, chasing a talented one in Price Tag home second up to be beaten a long neck when last seen. The slight rise to 1100m looks perfect and she'll be very hard to hold out. SUPERIOR DAME (8) is a filly by Ole Kirk on debut for the Robbie Griffiths yard who has been trialling well. She's well-bred out of a good mare, hence the $1 million yearling price and she does look to have good ability. THANKFUL SMILE (9) resumes having run fifth on debut at Mornington. She was in the market there and is expected to improve this time around, watch the betting. MACCA'S ANGEL (5) comes through the Kingsbury form line last time which we'll get a line to in the race prior. She should take some holding out. FROZEN PRINCESS (2) is an Alabama Express filly for the Nathan Dunn yard who can run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Salaria to win.
