Sandown Park Race 1 - Sportsbet Supporters Of Having A Crack

CONTACTED (2) was in winning form two back (30.52) at The Meadows but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Can atone. HARD LAUNCH (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (30.69) last time in a Mix 6/7 at The Meadows. Key runner on best form. MEPUNGA RULE (5) hit the ground running to score by 1.75 lengths (30.04) at this track over 515m. Leading player again. LITTLE BONT (1) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Made an impressive debut when charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional, clocking 30.04 with a 1.75 lengths win at this track over 515m. Shows good promise and should be in this for a long way.

Latest effort finished 5th in a Mix 6/7 on April 1 over 525m at The Meadows behind Mepunga Spirit beaten 9 lengths (30.69). Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
