Sandown Park Race 6 - The Brian Dunn
HOT NANU (7) copped a check in the run and finished a well held 20 lengths eighth (31.52) last time in a OPEN at Angle Park over 530m. Can find winning form here. PAW NIMBUS (1) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.75 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 30.25 beating Off The Beer. Flying at the moment and expecting another big run. FLYING DUCATI (4) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 29.33 beating Above Them All. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Significant danger. ZIPPING SIGRID (2) is building a solid run wins and will play a big role again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (26.13) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Boasts two wins and two places from four starts off the draw. Looks one of the chances.
