Sandown Park Race 2 - Sportsbet Final
AWESOME BANDIT (7) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (29.51) at this track in a Mix 6/7 H over 515m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Will go close again if runs up to latest. COBBLE HILL (6) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 13 lengths (29.36) at this track. Must include in calculations. INDIAN STAR (1) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (30.28) at this track in a Mix 6/7 H over 515m. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Well-placed to take this out. OUR BANK (2) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - should be thereabouts.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (30.28) over 515m at this track. Well-performed from this draw. Key chance on best form.
