Sandown Race 1 - Sportsbet Fast Form Hcp
LEOPARD SHARK (4) found the right race last start at Pakenham and bolted in having run behind the likes of Guest House & Streisand in her first two outings, easily accounting for her maiden opposition as the $1.65 favourite. She has the runs on the board that the others will do well to reach. HYDROBOMB (2) is a colt by Shamus Award on debut for the Hayes yard. He's looked sharp at the jumpouts and should take plenty of beating first time of asking. OPTIMUS (3) is a well-bred colt by champion sire I Am Invincible out of a Fastnet Rock mare on debut for the Freedman yard. Expect he's ready to go. TUZEMAK (6) ran a solid race on debut at Pakenham when beaten a head over 1000m. She can only improve off that. DISSIDENT WOODS (1) next best on debut.

Colt by Shamus Award facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Pakenham on February 10. Looks smart and should go close.

At debut, set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 12 over 1000m, head behind Rich On Bubbles with 56kg at $5.50. Can improve and run another good race.
