Sandown Park Race 6 - Matt Drew's Birthday Run

PAW LOVISA (2) has a strong record here with four wins and five placings from 11 starts. In the money last time at this track (42.05) in a SE, finishing a one length second. With a clean break looks hard to beat. ESPOIR (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from seven tries. Hit the frame latest (42.22) when third at this track in a SE. Looks a key chance on best figures. DEWANA SIZZLE (4) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (30.34) in a Grade 5 FIN at The Meadows. Unbeaten from this box in two starts. Expected to be in this for a long way. SO HE THINKS (1) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (42.05) at this track over 715m. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.

In the money last time at this track (42.22) in a SE, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including two wins. Looks suited and should go close.
