Sandown Park Race 8 - Book A Christmas In July Package
MOTOR CITY ROSSI (1) hit the frame two on end before being rewarded with a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 595m (34.54). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Can make it back-to-back wins. PAW GORDY (6) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at The Meadows over 525m (30.26), scoring by 1.5 lengths. Expecting another good run. SCOTT VICIOUS (2) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at this track over 515m behind Dr. Azure (30.27) in a Grade 5. Worth another chance. GO FLASH GO (3) raced on the pace and got home last start. That form reads well.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by half a length at Bendigo over 500m (28.24) beating Wearing Levis in Grade 5 on July 10. In form and expected to run well again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 515m at this track. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished fifth over 515m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 1.5 lengths win at The Meadows over 525m in 30.26. The one to beat again.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (24.72) at Sale over 435m. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
