Sandown Park Race 5 - Happy Birthday Brad
PAW GRADY (5) was in the minors two back (34.77) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Can bounce back. LAKEVIEW LEIGH (1) finished well back at Warragul last time when a 5 length fifth (26.44) but scored three back at Sale (24.91). Leading chance. GOBLIN (2) was out of the placings last time when seventh at Shepparton (22.48) but scored three back at The Meadows (30.08). Can do much better this time. TO PERU (8) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to turn the form around.
