Sandown Park Race 5 - Sportsbet Ht2 (1-6 Wins)
BOLD ASSAIL (2) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from six tries. Comes off a (37.90) win last time, scoring by a head in a Mix 4/5 FIN over 660m at Bendigo. Looks suited here and rates on top. FLYING ROGUE (8) was out of the placings last time when fifth at The Meadows (30.94) but scored four back at this track (29.85). Worth another chance. BIG WATCH (4) has been in the frame at her last two runs, most recently when third (30.27) in a Mix 6/7 FIN over 515m at this track. Expected to do much better this time. LAKEVIEW IAN (7) put a gap on his rivals last start. Big chance on that form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 460m at Warragul. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (30.27) over 515m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Cannot be ruled out.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 510m at Sale. Can't recommend her in this.

Strong performance to win by 2.5 lengths at Traralgon over 570m (33.23) beating Dr. Fanatical in Grade 5 on July 3. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.
