Sandown Park Race 11

The Nationals 25-30 August

Prize Money: $3,340

ESCAPING BINDI (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (26.65) in a Grade 5 at Warragul. Should bounce back. JOAN'S GEM (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (35.21) last time in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Must be included in calculations. SAY MY GRACE (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (30.41) in a Grade 5 at this track. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. PAW RAZOR (1) is new to this circuit but can play a major role.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by half a length at Warrnambool (22.57) beating Inga Johnny in a Grade 5 on July 30. Major threat on best form.

Latest effort finished last over 460m at Warragul beaten 6 lengths (26.65) behind Runway Blue in a Grade 5 on August 4. Looks a strong winning hope.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.41) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has two placings from four starts from the draw. Looks one of the chances.
