Sandown Park Race 9

Aston Rupee At Stud

Prize Money: $8,785

PAW VINCE (6) could manage only seventh at The Meadows last time but turned heads when posting a powerful 29.33 over 515m at this track three starts back. Hot win three back and looks the one to beat here. MEPUNGA SHADOW (5) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (29.99) over 515m at this track in a R/A FIN. Form here sound including two wins. Great chance to atone. DAINTREE SNIPER (2) filled a minor placing last start at Sale behind Dr. Harold (24.57) in a Grade 4/5. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Leading player again. IVORY HAMADA (1) hit the frame latest (23.97) when second at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Unbeaten in two runs from this draw.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 23 lengths at The Meadows. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Shapes well here on best and gets chance to atone.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (29.86) at this track over 515m. Capable of a good showing.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
