Sandown Park Race 9 - Hooked On Scotch At Stud
POINT BREAK (6) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and three minors from 13 tries. Recorded a 5.5 lengths win (29.38) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks suited here and rates on top. JUST IN CASEY (2) jumps from box 2 for the first time after placing latest at Geelong (39.75) in a Restricted WIN. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Winning chance. MOONLIGHT MILLER (1) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fifth and beaten 2.25 lengths (30.83) at The Meadows. Likely to be about the money. ZIPPING UNA (8) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Had been in consistent form with five minors on end before missing the frame last start when fourth (29.10) at Sale. Has a wide draw to navigate and prefer the place this line-up.
