Sandown Park Race 8 - Christmas In July Tonight
TIM ZOO (2) brought up his 25th career win last start at Q Parklands (29.22). Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can continue on with his winning form. SMOOTH PLANE (1) has been out of the placings at his last two outings but shapes well for this if he can recapture his powerful win a few runs back, getting around Q Parklands over 520m in 29.54. Has the ability and looks a key chance. PAW OSWALD (3) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (29.45) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Expected to be in this for a long way. BAGMAN (6) hit the frame latest (29.30) when second at this track in a Free For All. Has four wins already from this draw.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an effortless winner scoring by 6 lengths in a Free For All at this track and recording an excellent 29.34 over the 515m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 4 length second but did clock a hot 29.30 for the 515m trip. Can slot into the minors again.

Had been in solid form before missing the frame at the latest appearance when fourth (30.58) at The Meadows. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.
