Sandown Park Race 5 - Schillaci At Stud
FLYING ROYCE (3) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (34.56) at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. Well-placed to take this out. MORAINE DYLAN (2) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 515m behind Paw Toronto (30.27) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Has never missed the frame from four starts from this draw, including a win. Should be about the money. DIVINE FEELINGS (4) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (30.52) in a Grade 5 FIN at The Meadows. Has a strong winning record here. Must be included in calculations. PAW HELION (1) surprised many when in the placings last start - deserves some thought.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last five starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on August 15 over 525m at The Meadows behind Mister Rico beaten 7 lengths (30.61). Overdue a win and gets his chance to break through.

In the money last time at this track (34.56) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks suited and should go close.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. Last start finished eighth over 595m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Hard to entertain this time.
