Sandown Park Race 5 - Hooked On Scotch At Stud
FLASH OF GENIUS (2) is better than last start when fourth (34.46) in a Special conditions H at this track over 595m. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. DEADLY COOL (6) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 5 winner three back (29.12) at this track over 515m. Can improve sharply here. RADAR O'REILLY (3) is a promising type who notched his 7th career success when too good (34.18) at this track last time. Solid record here winning four races. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Leading chance again. LINDENOW BUSTER (8) found the frame here last start and looks a top-three hope again.

Good performance to win by half a length at this track over 595m (34.77) beating Mepunga Shadow in Grade 5 on June 25. Has ability and worth including.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 8 lengths over 595m at this track in a handy 34.18, beating Gorringe. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
