Sandown Park Race 7 - Book For Heats Night This Thursday
WHITE MOCHA (1) scored (34.20) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Form at this distance is sound. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from two starts. Well placed and will be tough to beat. HECTOR DARCY (7) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 3 last time (35.41) at The Meadows. Can feature again. LUSH HOUR (4) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 595m behind Quinlee Bale (34.66) in a Grade 4/5. Expected to feature in the finish. PAW QUANTUM (8) is new to this distance but can play a major role.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 650m at Shepparton. Happy to risk this time.
