Sandown Park Race 2 - Sportsbet Ht1
WORD GETS AROUND (7) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from five starts. Was out of placings last time (30.69) at The Meadows in a Special conditions SF, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Expected to be in the finish. PAW XEROX (3) is super consistent overall, having placed 19 of 31 career runs. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (23.59) at Horsham. Can measure up. SO SAY ME (2) struggled in tougher grade last start at The Meadows, but prior to that won by half a length at this track (29.84) beating Galleywood in a Mix 6/7 on October 5. Worth following up. BENARCA BELL (4) raced handy last time and scored. That form reads well.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by half a length at this track (29.84) beating Galleywood in a Mix 6/7 on October 5. Leading chance on best form.

Placed last time (23.59) at Horsham in a Mix 6/7, finishing third and beaten 3.5 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 515m at this track in a handy 29.94, beating Bull Rose. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 460m at Geelong. Prefer in something easier.

Latest effort finished 4th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 4.5 lengths (30.69) behind Cruise Commander in a Special conditions SF on October 10. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
