Sandown Park Race 4 - Book Tickets For The Nationals
DRAMATICAL (1) goes very well this trip starting 11 times for four wins and two minors. Below best last time at Horsham (27.37) in a Special conditions G2, finishing a 9 length fifth. Expected to be in the finish. PAW MONET (4) could manage only second at The Meadows last time but turned heads when posting a brilliant 29.97 over 525m at The Meadows the start prior. Top win two back and rates a key player again. ASTON BUGSY (7) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when third beaten 3 lengths (29.65). Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from five starts. Overdue and gets his chance. MOONLIGHT MILLER (5) cannot be left out over a shorter journey.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 595m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a nose second at The Meadows over 525m in 30.12. Brought a two-start winning streak to an end last time with the minor placing. Expected to feature again.

Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing third in 34.46 at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Cannot be ruled out.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 3 length third over 515m at this track, clocking 29.65. Looks a solid contender.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 520m at Wentworth Park. Others make more appeal.
