Sandown Park Race 8 - Australia Day Sprint
FLYING ZULU (4) boasts a strong record this journey with 14 wins and six minors from 27 tries. Scored by 1.2 lengths last time (29.00) in a Free For All over 515m at this track. Rates a leading player. BIG ENERGY (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with 13 wins and four minors from 26 tries. Hit the frame latest (29.26) when second at this track in a Free For All. Makes strong appeal on best. PAW UCOLTA (1) missed the frame last time when sixth (34.92) at The Meadows in a Grade 5 but not beaten far the start prior. Key player on best and worth another try. PAW TIKA (2) is always hard to beat when she 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 sixth (29.73) at this track over 515m. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 460m at Warragul. Can't recommend him in this.

In great form with wins at her last two. Scored most recently over 525m at The Meadows in Grade 5 class a week-and-a-half ago. Not suited by wide draw, doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
