Sandown Park Race 7 - Hooked On Scotch At Stud

MEPUNGA ZIRCON (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 34.08 beating Brindle Surprise. Has a strong record from box 1, including four wins. Looks to have an edge on most of these. ROSS THE BOSS (7) is a strong stayer who excels over the longer races. Finished second latest over 545m at Ballarat (30.65) in a Special conditions race but is better suited over the extra ground. Goes very well at the journey winning one races. Winning chance. CHAMPLAIN (6) was well off top last time, finishing 4th (34.26) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has won here at this journey. Great chance to atone. SHADOWS OF BLUE (8) saluted last start after racing on the speed. Must be respected.

Impressive performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a neck in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording a dominant 34.08 over the 595m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (29.87), beating Caly Jet. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk this time.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a nose second (30.65) at Ballarat. Racing well and can find winning form again.
