Sandown Park Race 5 - Vic Nationals Sprint Series Ht1
INDY MELMEN (1) last seen when scorching around the 515m at this track in 29.34 for a 1.5 lengths victory. Can measure up again if runs up to latest time. CANYA MAYHEM (4) comes here off a scintillating win at Bendigo in 27.71 over 500m. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. REPELLENT (3) goes very well this trip starting nine times for three wins and three minors. Below best last time at The Meadows (30.63) in a S/E Group 1, finishing a 13 length eighth. Suited here and expected to run well. CLEO'S STAR (6) won last start in very good time. Sure to run well again.

Won again and recorded an impressive time after leading making it three straight at this track over 515m (29.34). Rates a leading player on recent form and will go close again.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 525m at The Meadows. That followed a win two back in 29.26 beating Paw Winkworth over 515m at this track. Not keen this time.

Did a good job two starts back at The Meadows to win by 0.8 lengths in 30.26, beating Paw Stella. Last start finished last on July 25 over 525m at The Meadows behind Indy Melmen beaten 13 lengths (30.63) in a S/E Group 1. Major threat on best form.

Good performance to post a big 6 lengths win at Bendigo over 500m (27.71) beating Illuminator in Mix 3/4 on July 31. Can make it two on the bounce.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Mt Gambier (29.32) beating Utter Madness in a OPEN on July 19. Hard to envisage a win.

Backs up after winning by 1.4 lengths at The Meadows (29.91) beating Sparring in a Free For All on August 1 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.
