PAW SAMUEL (4) was below best last time finishing fourth at this track, but prior to that had been racing well including a Grade 5 NP win two back at this track. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. SECRET EMGRAND (6) got the job done again after racing on speed for her three straight win at this track over 515m (29.89). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to feature again. IF HE COULD (7) hit the ground running last start and was never headed (22.60) at Geelong in Grade 5 NP over 400m. Significant danger.

Having his first run at Sandown. Comes off an average run last start over 400m at Warragul when fifth behind Zonnekeyn (23.06) in Grade 5. This looks too tough.

Won again in another strong performance after box seating making it three on end at this track over 515m (29.89). In sparkling form and looks a leading chance again.
