Sandown Park Race 8 - Knox Tyrepower
BOUNDING CHIEF (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing third (30.03) at this track. Form here sound including four wins. One of the contenders. LAUNCH MODE (8) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (35.02) at The Meadows. In the mix. WHITE CREST (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by a long neck at The Meadows in a handy 30.57 beating Riversdale Mick. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Significant danger. HOCUS POCUS (2) can measure up with the right run.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 2.75 lengths over 515m at this track (29.99). Can measure up again with the right run.
