Sandown Park Race 9 - Sportsbet Blackbook
PAW MATIC (1) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 2.5 lengths (29.53) at this track in a Grade 6 over 515m. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Great chance again. CANYA MAROONS (8) last start finished 4th in a Grade 4/5 on January 23 over 460m at Geelong behind Prison Break beaten 5.5 lengths (26.08). Can hit the frame with the right run. GAS AND DUST (2) is a promising type who notched his 3rd career success when too good (24.60) at Sale last time. Form at the trip sound including two wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Likely to be in the finish. DR. AZURE (3) is likely to have admirers.

Strong performance to win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 515m (29.53) beating Paw Phantom in Grade 6 on January 22. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at Sale over 435m (24.60) beating Paw Ramello in Grade 6 on January 18. Can make it two on the bounce.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing sixth (30.15) at this track. Tricky draw to overcome and appears tested on latest effort.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.68) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length eighth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from eight starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (28.27) over 500m at Bendigo. Has to overcome a wide draw but is worth plenty of thought.

Was out of placings last time (26.08) at Geelong in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
