Sandown Park Race 7 - Sandown Vet Clinic
MAXI GRIN (7) goes very well this course and distance starting 12 times for four wins and five minors. Missed the frame latest (26.31) when sixth over 460m at Geelong in a Grade 4/5. Makes strong appeal on best. HOLDEN BALE (5) made light work of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (29.80) at this track over 515m. Expected to feature again. SUPER FREAKY (4) missed the frame two back but wound up strongly last time, finishing on late when second (30.24) in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Expected to be in the finish again. PAW NIMBUS (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Placed last time (30.22) at The Meadows in a Free For All, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.
