Sandown Park Race 3 - Bendigo To Sandown Park Final
GAS AND DUST (6) has a strong record this journey with three wins and a minor from six starts. Placed last time (23.84) at Bendigo in a Restricted WIN H, finishing second and beaten a neck. Looks a key chance on best form. GOLD TAG (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (24.46) in a Restricted WIN H at Bendigo latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can feature with the right run. AFFILIATED (1) showed good early speed and led throughout to score at big odds last time when a neck winner at Bendigo over 425m (23.83). Has a good record at this journey. Form should stack up. WHOPPI DEVERE (8) did the right thing for favourite backers last time - cannot be taken lightly.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.5 lengths fourth (24.46) over 425m at Bendigo. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 at this track. Rates on top and can find winning form again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at The Meadows over 525m in 30.18. Followed that up with a minor placing over 425m at Bendigo at Restricted WIN H six days ago. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
