Sandown Park Race 1 - The Back Nine Bolt
DIVINE FEELINGS (1) was below best last time at The Meadows (30.24) in a Mix 6/7, finishing a 7 length fourth. Has already won out of this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. OKAY BOSS (7) has been in the money at his last two runs, most recently when third (34.92) in a R/A FIN over 595m at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. PAW XEROX (5) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths (30.19) at this track. Has placed several times at this track. Form from his last run is proving strong. Should be about the money. SHAHZADEH (2) can measure up with the right run.

Latest effort finished 4th on July 25 over 525m at The Meadows behind Dewana Sizzle beaten 7 lengths (30.24) in a Mix 6/7. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Missed the frame last time when sixth (31.06) at The Meadows. Prior to that had been racing well. Has a low draw but will need everything to go his way.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on July 20 over 515m at this track behind Dewana Missile beaten 4.5 lengths (30.19) in a Mix 6/7. Placed two back at Geelong. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 8 length third (34.92) over 595m at this track. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.
