Sandown Park Race 5

Hooked On Scotch At Stud

Prize Money: $8,785

PAW IMPERIAL (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (30.26) in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Can make amends. DR. AZURE (6) tends to take a while to wind up, missing the placings two back but running on to last time finishing second (29.95) in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Bold showing expected. BELAIR BRINDLE (4) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 512m at Mt Gambier, taking a Grade 5 in a scintillating 29.31. Has the ability and looks a key chance. UNCLE STILTSKIN (8) is worth consideration.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Warragul (25.92) beating Dr. Paris in a Grade 5 on April 3. Racing well and has to be included.
