Sandown Park Race 6 - Sportsbet Ht3
GRAPEFRUIT TITO (2) finds it hard to break through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (30.43) at The Meadows. Solid record at the distance winning two races. One of the leading chances. HEATHCOTE RUPEE (1) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 515m behind Hartland Willow (30.44) in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from 10 starts. Should be in this for a long way. SAINT BERNARDO (7) won again in another strong performance after leading them home to make it two in a row, scoring by 3.5 lengths (30.08) at The Meadows over 525m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expecting another bold showing. NELLIE RUNNING (4) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.44) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 11 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks suited and should go close.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at Ballarat. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
