Sandown Park Race 2 - Happy Birthday Alba Gomez

MASTER MCGRAW (3) has been out of the placings at his last couple of runs but impressed when posting an enormous 25.57 over 457m at Temora three starts back. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. HERE COMES JOJO (6) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3 length fourth (28.89) over 510m at Sale. Shapes as one to consider. PAW OTIS (8) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at The Meadows behind Brindle Surprise (30.18) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Can feature again. HE'S MAGIC (7) is always hard to beat when he races here at this trip.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (28.89) at Sale over 510m. Has a superb 29.24 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
