Sandown Park Race 1 - Sportsbet Ht1
OPALINA (2) has been freshened since finishing midfield on debut at this track over 515m (31.10). Better for the run and makes appeal this time. BELIEVE AGAIN (8) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 4 lengths away in second (25.63) at Ballarat in a Maiden over 450m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. DIVINE FEELINGS (4) has been in the minor money at both career runs, the latest finishing third (24.17) at Bendigo. Rates well and expected to feature again. LITTLE RAT (6) is new to this track but is worth considering.

Ran a fair race on debut when jumped well and was on speed, fading to finish fifth (31.29) at The Meadows over 525m. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Showed good early speed on debut over 515m at this track, leading early before fading to finish fifth (31.10). Likely to be much improved. Should be right in the finish.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 4 length third (24.17) over 425m at Bendigo and making it two placings on end. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Yet to break through in 12 runs, the latest effort a second over 450m at Ballarat in 25.63. Was on pace and game in defeat. Great chance to break through.
