Sandown Park Race 8 - Catanach's Jewellers Laurels Classic Ht5
PERFECT PICTURE (6) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Placed last time (29.66) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths. Has the ability and should feature. AUTUMN GOLD (2) hit the ground running last start and was never headed to land her maiden success over 515m at this track (29.73). Boxed well here. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. ASTON AQUITAINE (7) goes very well this trip starting six times for three wins and two minors. Placed last time (29.79) at this track in a Free For All, finishing third and beaten 4.5 lengths. Can hit the frame with the right run. LAKEVIEW CINDY (8) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Has finished fourth at her last couple of starts, most recently at Shepparton over 450m. Hard to envisage a win.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (29.79) over 515m at this track. Drawn wide. Deserves respect.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 1.1 lengths second (29.83) over 515m at this track. Has ability and worth including.
