Sandown Park Race 3

Book Tickets For Afl Night 24 Sept

Prize Money: $9,055

ASTON RAYNER (2) is a well performed dog and winner of 13 races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at The Meadows (30.72). Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Has never missed the frame from three starts from this draw, including a win. Can bounce back. NIGEL DEVERE (3) is in top form lately including a solid win at The Meadows in 34.49 two back then backing it up with a 29.95 victory at The Meadows over 525m latest. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. ASSASSINATOR (6) is a well performed dog who recorded his 7th career win last time out at The Meadows (30.21). The form from his last run stacks up well. Leading player again. PANTHER'S WAY (1) generally performs well from this box.

Missed the frame latest (30.72) when seventh over 525m at The Meadows in a Free For All. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Has ability and should feature.

Hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 29.95 with a half a length win at The Meadows over 525m. Strongly fancied and lived right up to expectations last start. Stick with him.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 515m in 29.51. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at The Meadows at Grade 4 a week ago. In the money last time but this is a stern test.

Good effort to win last start by 4 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.03), beating Hey Presto. In winning form and must be included.
