Sandown Park Race 2 - Sportsbet Blackbook (2-3 Wins)

INDY MELMEN (3) boasts a strong record this journey with two wins and two minors from four tries. Scored by 7 lengths last time (29.69) in a Grade 7 over 525m at The Meadows. Expected to be in the finish. GNARLACK (2) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 29.71 beating Little Bont. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. BACK TALK (1) is on a hot streak recording a 29.98 win over 515m at this track last start following on from a fast 24.05 victory at Bendigo over 425m the start prior. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. CORBAN YAXLEY (4) cannot be underestimated.

Continued winning form with another impressive display after running them ragged to make it two on the trot at this track over 515m (29.98). Looks a key chance on recent form.

Missed the frame last time when fourth (29.84) at this track. Prior to that had been racing well. Tricky draw to overcome and prefer each-way.

Did a good job two starts back at Sale to win by 6 lengths in 24.40, beating Dr. Smokey. Last start finished last over 460m at Warragul beaten 7 lengths (26.32) behind Reality Ollie in a Restricted WIN H on April 7. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
