Sandown Park Race 3 - Sportsbet Final
PAW TARKOV (7) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish third (30.06) at The Meadows in a Grade 5 FIN over 525m. Can feature again. ASH INTENTION (3) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (29.65) behind PAW TARKOV at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. PAW SAPPHIRE (1) will need to run right up to last start to feature again.

Strong performance to post a big 4 lengths victory in a Grade 5 H last start at Geelong, clocking a brilliant 25.63 for the 460m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 515m at this track. That followed a win two back in 22.75 beating Pyrenees Ace over 410m at Horsham. In the money last time but has the job ahead.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 515m. Last start finished 3rd over 525m at The Meadows beaten 4.5 lengths (30.06) behind Biscottino in a Grade 5 FIN on May 2. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
