Sandown Park Race 3 - Book Christmas In July Packages
PAW OTIS (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (30.10) last time in a NG at Wentworth Park. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. Rates on top in this line up. PAW ORTIZ (5) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (30.39) at Wentworth Park over 520m. One of the main contenders. ELITE INTENTION (2) was out of character last run when missing the frame, finishing eighth (27.58) in a Special conditions G2 at Horsham. Generally safe to begin but was always well back last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Bold showing expected. WONDERFUL WORK (7) good strike-rate overall and must be included.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.10) in a NG, finishing a 6 length seventh. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Missed the frame last start when a 12 length eighth (27.58) at Horsham. Previous form sound including a win three back at Warragul. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.

Has finished sixth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 515m. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have a good record at the track and trip, including two wins. Solid showing expected.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.41) in a Grade 4, finishing a 4 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough field and looking to others this time.
