Sandown Park Race 6 - Hooked On Scotch At Stud
ASCEND ECSTATIC (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (34.59) in a Special conditions G2 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning seven races. Should bounce back. HE'S MAGIC (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with eight wins and nine minors from 19 tries. Recorded a neck win (29.64) in a Free For All last time at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. RADAR O'REILLY (4) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won five of nine starts. Comes off a (34.46) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 595m at this track. Looks one of the chances. URANA XAVIER (7) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Was out of placings last time (26.41) at Warragul in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and six places from 13 starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (34.59) in a Special conditions G2, finishing a 5 length fifth. Has three successes and six minors from 13 starts from box 2. Makes strong appeal.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at Horsham over 485m. The start prior was at his best with a 1.3 lengths win over 485m at Horsham. Happy to risk this time.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 595m at this track in a handy (34.46), beating Deadly Cool. In form and can make it three straight.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a long neck in 34.54, beating Overland Boy. Last start finished last on July 2 over 595m at this track behind Paw Vortex beaten 4.5 lengths (34.54) in a Special conditions G2. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 515m in 29.64 last start, beating Paw Qwerty. Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.
