Sandown Park Race 5

Hole In One Here 27 March

Prize Money: $9,055

AVIATION (1) is a promising type who notched his 6th career success when too good (29.72) at this track last time. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Looks to have an edge on most of these. PAW PETROV (3) could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his quick 25.33 win at Ballarat over 450m then has finished in the placings in both runs since. Top win three back and can measure up again. FLYING DINAR (4) boasts a consistent overall record including seven wins from 33 starts, the latest winning (30.11) over 525m at The Meadows. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Expected to feature on best form. QUEEN AVENGER (2) continues to race well and is sure to be competitive again.

Scored (29.72) last time out at this track in a Grade 5 and will break from box 1 for the first time. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Was among the placegetters latest at Shepparton when a 3 length third but did clock a slick 25.38 over the 450m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around The Meadows over 525m in 30.11, claiming a Grade 4/5 by 1.75 lengths. Sure to be about the mark.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths at The Meadows. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.04), beating Mepunga Scarlett. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk.
