Sandown Park Race 8 - Anzac Appeal Cup

AMRON DANCER (2) goes very well at the course with three wins and a placing from five starts. In the money last time at this track (29.58) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a neck second. Looks a leading chance on best. VISTA WEIRD (1) isn't a quick beginner but comes home hard, finishing out of the frame two back but did wind up strongly to place when third (29.67) in a NG at Wentworth Park. Form here sound including three wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Must be included in calculations. ABDULLA ZULU (6) has a strong record here with four wins and a minor from six starts. Below best last time at Geelong (30.39) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 7 length sixth. Suited here and expected to run well. PAW FABIAN (4) is likely to have admirers.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 29.58 over 515m at this track. Has run blistering time here with a 29.23 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Ordinary effort last start when he was slow out over 520m at Geelong. Prior to that won easily by 4 lengths at this track (29.29) beating Zambora Bliss in a Special conditions race on April 2. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.
