Sandown Park Race 11

Hooked On Scotch At Stud

Stake: $4,075

MINER MICK (2) is a smart beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at Ballarat over 450m. Can continue on his winning ways. MR. MOCHA (4) is a promising dog in the frame at four of eight starts including three wins and was in the minors again latest (29.90) over 515m at this track. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. PAR EXCELLENCE (8) had been racing in honest fashion recording five placings in a row before finishing seventh (30.15) at this track latest. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Can measure up this time. LADY RAPID (7) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by a nose in 22.77, beating Periodical. Last start finished 5th over 390m at Ballarat beaten 5 lengths (22.41) behind Commanche Jack in a Grade 5 on April 29. Draws the inside but looks tested.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on April 27 over 515m at this track behind Repellent beaten 4 lengths (29.90). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Finished seventh (30.15) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded five minor placings in a row. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the breaks to go his way.
