Sandown Park Race 7 - Hooked On Scotch At Stud
COMPTON GOLD (4) goes very well this trip starting 12 times for six wins and two minors. Scored by half a length last time (30.77) in a Grade 4/5 over 545m at Ballarat. Looks a key chance on best form. CRACKERJACK HOPS (8) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from five tries. Recorded a 5.5 lengths win (30.10) in a Grade 5 last time at The Meadows. Can feature in the finish. PAW VORTEX (7) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 595m behind He's Magic (34.46) in a Free For All. Was in the money prior to that. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from nine starts. Has the ability to give this a shake. ULTIMATE WARRIOR (2) has a solid strike rate at this distance.
