Sandown Park Race 2 - Aston Rupee At Stud
PAW MATIC (7) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (29.52) at this track in a Mix 6/7 over 515m. Ideally placed to take this out. SO HE THINKS (1) is a progressive dog who scored his 2nd career win last time at Ballarat, scoring by 4.5 lengths (31.18). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Has definite claims. PAW PHANTOM (2) finds it hard to win. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (26.06) at Geelong. Winning chance. PAW OLYMPUS (4) is very honest and looms as a strong winning hope again.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.75 lengths in a Mix 6/7 last start at this track, clocking a solid 29.52 over the 515m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
