Sandown Park Race 8

Hooked On Scotch At Stud

Stake: $9,870

EXPLICIT (3) is still one of the best sprinters in the land and he should be primed to fire after a freshen up. VALENZUELA (1) is a consistent speedster and he is drawn to get all the breaks. PAW FABIAN (6) can run a cheeky race

Scored by a long neck last time (25.96) in a Grade 5 FIN over 460m at Warragul. Has three successes and five minors from 13 starts from box 2. Looks a place chance at best.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 515m in 29.27 last start, beating Bagman. Has run hot time here with a 28.97 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Did a good job two starts back at The Meadows to win by 1.75 lengths in 30.15, beating Highly Connected. Last start finished 5th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 12 lengths (30.59) behind Slick Splits in a S/E Group 1 on July 26. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.4 lengths third (30.35) over 525m at The Meadows and making it two placings on end. Holds top-three claims.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd over 515m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (29.65) behind Flying Zulu in a Free For All on July 31. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.
