Sandown Park Race 2 - Sportsbet Ht2
WHAT CLASS (8) is a Paul Abela-trained newcomer by Bernardo out of Cruise Mode. Start all important and will need some luck getting across from the wide draw. Lot to like about her profile and expected to run well. BELIEVE AGAIN (3) was well supported last time but could only manage second (30.64), beaten half a length. Expected to feature again. INDY MELMEN (1) has his first outing without a trial but profiles nicely for this. Expected to feature on debut. BERNARDO SPLIT (4) is building a sequence of top-three results and can add to the tally.

Well bred debutante by My Bro Fabio from Indy Matilda. He looks suitably boxed. Has ability and can run well.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 515m at this track. Hard to entertain this time.

Has raced 16 times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a second (30.64) over 525m at The Meadows. Gave a huge sight and went down narrowly. Should go very well.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 515m at this track clocking 30.41. Has ability and can run well.

Last start finished sixth in a Maiden on February 23 over 515m at this track behind Radar O'reilly, beaten 15 lengths (30.86). Happy to risk in this.

Royally bred debutante by Bernardo from Cruise Mode. Expected to make an impact.
