Sandown Park Race 7

Wrongly Accused National Sprint Champion

Prize Money: $9,055

CANYA MAYHEM (2) was out of the placings when fourth last time but prior to that posted a flying 29.33 win over 515m at this track. Has the ability and looks hard to top. LIKE A ROCK (5) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and two placings from nine starts. Recorded a 5 length win (29.72) in a Grade 5 last time at The Meadows. Looks well placed here and among the chances. FLYING DUCATI (1) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 29.36 beating Cleo's Star. Can continue on with his winning form. HOT NANU (8) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.
