Sandown Park Race 5 - Laurels Classic Ht1
PAW GERTRUDE (2) comes off an average run last start when eighth at this track over 515m behind Paw Petrov (30.75) in a Grade 4/5. Was a winner the start prior. Has performed well from this box with a win and six minor placings to her name from nine starts. Has ability and looks hard to stop. BLAME HER (6) is a promising dog in the frame at 10 of 21 starts including five wins and was a last start winner (25.80) over 460m at Warragul. Goes well from this draw. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. GOBLIN (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (24.36) at Bendigo. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Bold showing expected. RITZA KRIS (3) was well supported last time but could only manage second (29.89), beaten 1.5 lengths. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (24.36) over 425m at Bendigo. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Did a good job two starts back at The Meadows to win by 4 lengths in 29.77, beating Measurement. Last start finished 4th on October 31 over 460m at Geelong behind Typhoon Baylee beaten 4.5 lengths (25.98) in a Grade 4/5. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Missed the frame last start when a 12 length eighth (26.38) at Geelong. Previous form sound including a win three back at Geelong. Has ability but needs to find best and others make more appeal.
