Sandown Park Race 9 - Book For Sandown Cup Night
ZAP DEVERE (1) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 5.5 lengths away in third (34.86) at The Meadows in a R/A FIN over 600m. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Racing well and deserves a win. ASTON TRUST (4) scored an upset win in a Restricted WIN at Ballarat last time in the best time of the card (30.77). Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. ZIPPING ANDORA (2) missed the frame latest when fifth at Bendigo (28.28) but was a winner four back in the second best time of the program. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from six starts. Can figure in the finish. PAW GRADY (7) warrants respect with the drop in trip.

Strong performance to score by 2.75 lengths in a Restricted WIN last start at Ballarat, recording an excellent 30.77 over the 545m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Finished third last start (30.46) at big odds over 525m at The Meadows. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Will need plenty of luck.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 595m at this track. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
