Sandown Park Race 7 - Knox Tyrepower
ELUSIVE CURL (1) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when third (29.78) in a Grade 5 over 515m at this track. Key player on best and worth another chance. IAN ALBERT (6) produced a fast 29.58 winning over 515m at this track last start in a Grade 5. Expecting another bold showing. ASTON BUGSY (8) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (29.63) at this track behind Keep Rolling in a Grade 5. Led around the bend before fighting on well and should give a sight. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from five starts. Expected to be in this for a long way. MEPUNGA SUMMIT (7) gave nothing else a chance most recently. That form reads well.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.25 lengths in 29.58, beating Paw Xerox. Last start finished 5th on June 18 over 515m at this track behind Paw Oswald beaten 4 lengths (29.82) in a Free For All. Major threat on best form.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 2 lengths over 515m at this track (29.58). Was in the money three on end before breaking through last start. Stick with him.
