Sandown Park Race 7 - Vic Nationals Sprint Series Ht3
LIKE A ROCK (4) won again in an impressive display after leading to make it two on end, scoring at this track over 515m (29.33). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can continue on with his winning form. PAW DAMON (1) is a promising dog in the frame at 13 of 28 starts including eight wins and was in the minors again latest (29.82) over 515m at this track. Has never missed the frame here from four starts. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. RETALIATION (3) filled a minor placing last start at The Meadows behind Sparring (30.14) in a Grade 4/5. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Expected to feature. TRIPPED OUT (6) is always hard to beat when he races here at this trip.

Missed the frame latest (30.17) when seventh over 515m at this track in a Mix 2/3. Goes very well from the draw boasting five victories and three places from 15 starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, likely to find this a bit tough.
