Sale Race 7 - Avon Hotel
ASTON RAYNER (3) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey here having won two of four starts. Below best last time at this track (25.30) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 8 length sixth. Appeals as a leading chance in this. DR. ZAIDEN (6) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 435m (24.84). Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Should be about the money. PAW PASADENA (4) is a last-start placegetter from this box - in the mix again.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 435m at this track in a handy (24.92), beating Kopacki Rit. Will find this a bit tougher, tempted to look elsewhere.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (24.54) beating Joey in a Grade 5 on October 18. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he goes well over this track and distance with two wins from four starts. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
