Sandown Park Race 7 - The Nationals 25-30 August
WHISKEY WHISKERS (1) struggled to get involved last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won easily by 6 lengths at Geelong (25.63) beating Doongalla Don in a Mix 4/5 H on July 10. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. LIKE A ROCK (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from six tries. Was out of the placings last time (30.24) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Can feature in the finish. NOVA OWEN (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (30.13) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at The Meadows. Can improve sharply here. FLAMING SMOOTH (7) hit the frame latest (30.79) when third at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Has already won two times from this draw.

Missed the frame latest (30.13) when fifth over 515m at this track in a Free For All. Has three wins and eight placings from 16 starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Going very well with wins at his last two. Scored most recently over 515m at this track in Grade 5 class a week ago. Likely to find this too tough.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.75 lengths second at Bendigo but did record an excellent 23.83 for the 425m trip. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.
