Sandown Park Race 8

Hooked On Scotch At Stud

Prize Money: $9,055

ULTIMATE WARRIOR (1) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, holding on for a minor placing when third and beaten 4 lengths at this track over 515m in 29.86. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from five starts. One of the contenders. GIACOMO (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with eight wins and four minors from 19 tries. Hit the frame latest (29.73) when second at this track in a Free For All. Makes strong appeal on best. DR. WILL (6) got around the 515m at this track to take a Free For All in a respectable 29.57 for a 2.25 lengths win. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. GALENTO (3) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (29.86) at this track over 515m. Should prove hard to beat.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors six starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (29.73) at this track over 515m. Has an excellent 29.3 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led for much of the way before being grabbed late, finishing a one length third at Q Parklands over 520m in 30.03. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a Grade 4/5 last start at Sale, recording a quick 28.75 over the 510m journey. In form and worth thought again.

Ended last campaign with a sixth (30.09) in a SPEC H at this track and returns after a ten weeks break. Has never been out of the money from three first-up runs. Worth including among the chances.
