Sandown Park Race 8

Prize Money: $3,875

FERRET'S KNOCK (6) boasts a consistent overall record including 13 wins from 33 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (29.89) over 515m at this track. Has a strong record here including two wins. Has the ability and expected to prove tough to beat again. PAW IOWA (7) had the drop on the pace early but forged to the lead on the bend and drew clear to score (30.09) at The Meadows in a Restricted WIN over 525m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Has definite claims. PAW NIMBUS (1) finished well back at The Meadows last time when a 6 length seventh (30.64) but recorded second best time of the card when winning four back. Likely to play a prominent role. HOLDEN BALE (2) is worth including.

Was out of placings last time (30.64) at The Meadows in a Free For All, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Among the chances on best.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (30.08) at this track over 515m. More than capable and ready to find best form.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (30.45) at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Has first look at box 3 this time. Will need the right run.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 515m at this track in a handy (29.93), beating Monument. Will find this a bit tougher, doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 515m at this track clocking 29.89. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.
