Sandown Park Race 6

The Brian Dunn

Prize Money: $9,055

HOT NANU (7) copped a check in the run and finished a well held 20 lengths eighth (31.52) last time in a OPEN at Angle Park over 530m. Can find winning form here. PAW NIMBUS (1) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.75 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 30.25 beating Off The Beer. Flying at the moment and expecting another big run. FLYING DUCATI (4) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 29.33 beating Above Them All. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Significant danger. ZIPPING SIGRID (2) is building a solid run wins and will play a big role again.

Has won three in a row. Good effort to score just five days ago over 525m at The Meadows by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 5. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a solid 29.50 over the 515m trip. Smart win and looks a key chance again here.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (26.13) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Boasts two wins and two places from four starts off the draw. Looks one of the chances.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 29.33 with a 1.3 lengths win at this track over 515m. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.46), beating Jetstream Icon. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to just watch this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at The Meadows over 525m. Last start finished 4th over 515m at this track beaten 2.5 lengths (29.74) behind Trendy Art in a Mix 3/4 on April 16. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Latest effort finished last over 530m at Angle Park beaten 20 lengths (31.52) behind Mallee Beauty in a OPEN on April 16. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by 3 lengths in 25.98, beating Minh Teddy. Last start finished last over 515m at this track beaten 12 lengths (30.44) behind Trendy Art in a Mix 3/4 on April 16. Looks up against it this time.
