Sandown Park Race 7 - Aston Rupee At Stud
PAW GORDY (1) was in the placings last time but prior to that he produced an excellent 27.08 win over 485m at Horsham. Smart win two back and looks a key chance here. BAROOGA JIM (3) placed last time (29.70) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has already won out of this draw. Looks one of the chances. BANDIT BARBIE (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (29.88) in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning seven races. Expected to run well. LIGHTNING SPEED (7) can fill a top-three spot.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (29.70) over 515m at this track. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished fifth over 435m at Sale, beaten 5 lengths. Needs to find a bit more.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 460m in 25.91. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at The Meadows at Grade 4/5 two weeks ago. More than capable and has to be included.
