Sandown Park Race 4

Happy Birthday Tim Godfrey

Prize Money: $8,785

DA SOUZA (2) was in the placings last time but prior to that posted a slick 29.45 win over 515m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. PAW RAYNOR (6) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fifth (29.97) at this track last time. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Worth another chance. GENERAL FRANKY (4) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for four wins and two minors. Was out of the placings last time (30.39) at The Meadows in a Mix 3/4, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Among the main chances. PAW QWERTY (7) collected a minor prize last start in a close contest - must be considered.

Good effort last time when second (29.86) over 515m at this track. Drops down the inside box this time. Looks to have the job ahead.

Hit the frame latest (29.86) when second at this track in a SE. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.39) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 6 length fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Makes appeal on best.

Latest effort finished 5th in a Grade 4/5 on September 3 over 515m at this track behind Mepunga Envy beaten 6 lengths (29.97). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 460m Geelong in 26.04. Others read better.
