Sandown Park Race 8 - 10K Spin The Wheel 22 May
ELUSIVE CURL (8) is looking to continue her winning ways off a convincing 29.79 success at The Meadows. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. SPARRING (1) has been out of the placings last two but prior to that clocked a speedy 29.84 win over 520m at Geelong. Expected to feature on best figures. FAST FREDDY (7) warrants respect following a recent placing at big odds.

Impressive performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 1.75 lengths in a Free For All last start at The Meadows, clocking an excellent 29.72 for the 525m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 460m at Geelong. Can't recommend in this field.

Backs up after winning by 2.25 lengths at Traralgon (32.45) beating Barefoot Zulu in a Grade 4/5 on May 1 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 515m at this track clocking 29.59. Looks a solid contender.
