Sandown Park Race 9

Stake: $10,903

ASTON GAGA (7) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (26.24) in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Tough to beat if on-song. PAW PHELPS (5) had a tricky draw last time when running fifth (31.32) over 525m at Broken Hill in a NG. Form here sound including two wins. Bold showing expected. SMOOTH RANGER (8) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (30.60) in a Grade 5 FIN at The Meadows latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to bounce back to best. GALLOPING RED (1) deserves plenty of thought over this journey.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 510m at Sale. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Backs up after winning easily by 4 lengths at this track (29.41) beating Always The Sun in a Mix 6/7 on May 23 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.
