Sandown Park Race 3 - Sportsbet Green Tick (250+ Rank)

BACK TALK (7) had the drop on the lead from the squeeze box but wound up strongly to score (24.17) at Bendigo in Grade 5 over 425m. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. BENGAL BEAST (4) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 5 NP winner three back (30.19) at this track over 515m. Well placed here and should do much better. RATTLE AND BANG (8) was well supported last time but could only manage third (30.48), beaten 5.5 lengths. Can measure up. VERA JAKIT (1) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 515m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Bendigo over 425m in 24.17 last start, beating Thermal Smoke. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.
