Sandown Park Race 7

5K Spin The Wheel 14 May

Prize Money: $8,785

PAW GORDY (8) is racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (30.15) over 525m at The Meadows. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. RED DAY (2) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and six placings from 20 starts. Missed the frame latest (29.78) when fifth over 515m at this track in a Grade 5. Suited here and expected to run well. SCOTT SIGMA (1) could manage only sixth at this track last time but turned heads when clocking a blistering 29.83 over 525m at The Meadows the start prior. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. PAW VORTEX (4) is likely to have admirers.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 450m at Warrnambool. That followed a win two back in 29.70 beating Simply Stunning over 520m at Geelong. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (29.62) over 515m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and will need a little luck to feature.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (30.15) at The Meadows over 525m. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.
