Sandown Park Race 4 - Happy Birthday Tim Godfrey
DA SOUZA (2) was in the placings last time but prior to that posted a slick 29.45 win over 515m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. PAW RAYNOR (6) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fifth (29.97) at this track last time. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Worth another chance. GENERAL FRANKY (4) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for four wins and two minors. Was out of the placings last time (30.39) at The Meadows in a Mix 3/4, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Among the main chances. PAW QWERTY (7) collected a minor prize last start in a close contest - must be considered.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.39) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 6 length fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Makes appeal on best.
