Sandown Park Race 7

The Nationals 25-30 August

Prize Money: $3,340

INDIAN PRINCE (1) is having his first look at this track. Scored last start (30.76) at The Meadows over 525m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. ASTON MACHINE (4) was seventh in a Grade 5 two back then found trouble in the run and took a tumble at The Meadows last time. Looks suited here and worth another try. FOXY BARBELLA (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 5 lengths (30.42) at Wentworth Park. Has the ability to give this a shake. ESCAPING BINDI (7) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by half a length at The Meadows (30.76) beating Aston Castle in a Grade 5 on August 5. Recorded two placings in a row before he was rewarded with a win most recently. Expected to go well again.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 5th on August 1 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Tarawi Banjo beaten 5 lengths (30.42) in a Grade 5. Well placed and among the chances here.

Showed good improvement when second behind Say My Grace at this track last start over 515m (29.98). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Good effort last time when second (26.25) over 460m at Warragul. Jumps from the outside. Will need plenty of luck.
