Sandown Park Race 3 - Sportsbet Ht1
MI AMIGO DIABLO (8) was strongly fancied to break through last time and justified the confidence with a maiden win at this track over 515m (29.45). Boxed wide here. Looks the one to beat. SHAHZADEH (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 4.5 lengths second (29.75) in a Maiden FIN at this track. The form out of last run is most impressive. Leading player again. BRAVE ISLAND (4) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at this track over 515m. Leading chance. PAW VOLTRON (7) proved himself from this box last start so worth keeping in mind.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 4.5 lengths second over 515m this track in 29.75. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 500m at Bendigo. Hard to entertain this time.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 6 length third over 515m this track in 29.85. Capable of playing a big role.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by a neck at Ballarat (22.59) beating Ice Candy in a Maiden on May 20. Will need to improve to feature.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (28.29) over 500m at Bendigo. Won at his only start from this draw. Worth following.

Strong performance to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Maiden FIN last start at this track, recording a sharp 29.45 over the 515m journey. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.
