Sandown Park Race 4

Sandown Vet Clinic

Stake: $12,035

PAW PETROV (2) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from three tries. Recorded a 3.5 lengths win (34.00) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. SHOW ME STYLE (8) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 10 lengths at this track in a handy 34.11 beating Paw Grady. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Significant danger. PAW IKE (1) goes very well here starting 17 times for six wins and seven minors. Hit the frame latest (38.34) when third at Warrnambool in a Special conditions race. Can feature in the finish. LOCHINVAR HUMMER (4) is building a nice sequence of placings and will be thereabouts again.

Narrowly beaten last time at this track when only half a length from the winner but did record a solid 34.22 over the 595m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.40) in a Free For All, finishing a 7 length sixth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Others appear better placed.

Dominant winner showing plenty of speed to post a big 10 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a brilliant 34.11 for the 595m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
