Sandown Park Race 1 - Sportsbet Supporters Of Having A Crack
KIWI EVOCA (1) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Hit the frame latest (29.36) when second at this track in a Special conditions race. Makes strong appeal on best. BOLD THRUSTER (8) had been racing well with a Grade 5 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at this track. Can improve sharply here. MEPUNGA RULE (6) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and three minors from 12 tries. Placed last time (25.74) at Geelong in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. MEPUNGA POWER (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a half a length second over 515m this track in 29.36. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.25 lengths third at Geelong but did record a flying 25.74 over the 460m journey. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
