Sandown Park Race 1 - Champagne Luscombe
PAW WINDER (6) is better than last start when fifth (30.87) in a Mix 6/7 at The Meadows over 525m. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MEPUNGA SPIRIT (1) showed good early speed and led throughout to score his maiden two back then finished third last start and beaten 6 lengths at The Meadows over 525m (31.11). Drawn well from box 1. Expected to feature on best form. PAW OTIS (2) improved his time on first attempt here at the trip with a neck second in 29.83 latest. Bold showing expected again. MELVIN BALE (4) scored in dominant fashion last time. Big chance on that form.

Won two starts back on debut over 525m at The Meadows. Last start he finished 3rd over 525m at The Meadows beaten 6 lengths (31.11) behind Romeo Montana in a Maiden FIN on March 14. Draw likely to suit. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (30.22) over 515m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and appears tested on latest effort.

Backs up after winning by 0.8 lengths at Sale (24.59) beating Minter Blinder in a Mix 6/7 FIN on March 15 four days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
