Sandown Park Race 5 - Hooked On Scotch At Stud
HI BIG BEN (7) turned in a plain performance last time when eighth at The Meadows over 525m behind Mystifying Lomar (30.73) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. Can make amends. TORNADO TESSA (4) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when sixth (29.85) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expected to do much better this time. MONUMENT (6) boasts a consistent overall record including four wins from 17 starts, the latest winning (28.92) over 510m at Sale. Expected to feature on best form. SHE'S SALTY (1) missed the frame latest (30.10) when fourth over 515m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Boasts a top strike-rate from this draw, winning three of five runs.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 7 lengths behind Magic Bocca over 515m. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by half a length at Warragul (26.19) beating Prince Valhalla in a Grade 5 on May 5. Looking to others this time.

Good effort to win last start by 2.75 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.42), beating Paw Geldoff. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more to test these.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.26) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Strong record off the draw with three wins and two minors from six starts. Key chance and should go close.
