Sandown Park Race 1 - Sportsbet Blackbook
NO EAR TRINDALL (4) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 3 lengths behind House Of Sins in 29.66 and recording a new PB here. In form and can measure up again. REPEAT THE SAME (6) drew the inside and won last time at The Meadows over 525m (30.39) after charging straight to the lead, scoring by 6 lengths. Bold showing expected again. MEPUNGA VELVET (8) drawn the outside box and could get a clear run. Was below best last time when 8th and beaten 6 lengths at this track (30.17). Has a strong winning record here at this journey including one wins. Shapes as one to consider. SILKEN OWL (3) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 450m at Shepparton. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Hasn't produced too much recently, and faces tougher opposition here. Hard to have. Others look better.

Finished second last time (30.07) over 515m at this track. Has a low draw. One of the better hopes.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (29.66) at this track over 515m. Key chance on best form.

Got off the mark three back with his maiden win at The Meadows. Placed following that before a last start sixth at The Meadows. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 3 lengths in 29.79, beating Turn Up Turbo. Last start finished last in a Mix 6/7 on February 23 over 515m at this track behind Point Man beaten 6 lengths (30.17). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
