Sandown Park Race 2 - Happy Birthday Gaz

EXEQUIEL (8) struggled to get involved last start after being shuffled back early at Warragul, but prior to that won by a neck at Warragul (25.53) beating Elusive Curl in a Mix 6/7 H on February 6. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Can bounce back. OPALITE (3) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at this track and distance (30.06) after leading through, scoring by a neck. Hard to beat again here. MR. TEDDY BEAR (6) comes off a (28.77) win last time, scoring by half a length in a Mix 6/7 over 510m at Sale. Has already won out of this draw. Can feature with the right run. MELVIN BALE (1) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by a half a length in a Mix 6/7 last start at Sale, clocking a solid 28.77 over the 510m trip. Smart win and looks a key chance again here.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warragul over 460m. Last start finished 5th on February 13 over 460m at Warragul behind Storm Hustler beaten 10 lengths (26.15) in a Mix 6/7 FIN. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
