Sandown Park Race 3

Happy 21St Birthday Hugo

Stake: $9,664

PAW HARRY (4) isn't a quick beginner but comes home hard, winding up to place two back then finishing on strongly last time when third (25.31) in a Grade 5 FIN at Warrnambool. Has a good record here including two wins. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Deserves serious consideration. LUXFORD (7) was among the minors three back at Healesville then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 7 this time where he has won before. Well placed here and should do much better. DR. UNITED (8) missed the frame last time when fourth (30.23) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has performed well from this box with a win and seven minor placings to his name from eight starts. Better than last start and can bounce back. PAW UMA (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Won two starts back at this track over 515m in 29.76. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 525m at The Meadows at Grade 5 level. Safely held last time and looking to others.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (26.10) at Geelong over 460m. Looks a solid contender.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.3 lengths third at Warrnambool but did record a fast 25.31 over the 450m trip. Rates on top here on the time from last run.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (30.23) over 515m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and prefer each-way.
