Sandown Park Race 10 - Sportsbet Ht1 (1-6 Wins)
ELITE ONE (1) was below latest but prior to that a Grade 5 winner in quick time (34.30) at The Meadows in a Grade 5. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. MELVIN BALE (4) won again in quick time after running them ragged to make it two on the bounce, scoring by 1.75 lengths (29.72) at this track over 515m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Bold showing expected again. LUSH HOUR (2) good strike-rate overall and must be included.

Won two starts back when well in the market at The Meadows over 600m. Last start finished last over 600m at The Meadows beaten 9 lengths (34.87) behind Vista Weird in a Grade 4/5 on May 9. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by a neck over 595m at this track (34.51). Looks a solid contender.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 595m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (23.27) over 400m at Mt Gambier. Drawn out wide and looks tested this line up.
