Sandown Park Race 7

Congrats Emma Scott - Ctoty

Prize Money: $10,375

FERGUS ZULU (7) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 4/5 win two back (34.13) at this track. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. SHAKE IT OFF (8) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot, going on to clock 34.68 when a half a length winner over 600m at The Meadows last time. Boasts three wins from four starts out of this box. Should be in this for a long way. PAW LOUIS (5) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only half a length from the winner Voice Of Thunder in second(34.75) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from seven starts. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. WHERE IT BEGAN (1) has not raced over this journey but still warrants respect.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.65) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from four starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

In the money last time at this track (34.76) in a Grade 5, finishing a long neck third. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Suited here and expected to run well.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 595m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Placed last time (34.75) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten half a length. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks a leading chance.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by half a length over 600m at The Meadows in a handy 34.68, beating Aston Gaga. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
