Sandown Park Race 10 - Sportsbet Ht2
AWESOME BANDIT (6) was prominent throughout when winning in one of the fastest times of the card two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 6th and beaten 8 lengths at Goulburn (25.05). His last run is a proven strong form reference. Can make amends. DISTANT (3) comes off a big run when second in a good 16.57 at Healesville over 300m. In form and must include in calculations. PERFECT PICTURE (8) recorded her 2nd career win last time out (29.91) at this track and drawn box 8 for the first time here. One of the prime contenders. RAKIN' IT IN (1) has not raced over this journey but still warrants respect.

Good performance to post a big 5.5 lengths win at Traralgon over 425m (24.21) beating Dr. Mitch in Mix 6/7 on August 14. Has ability and worth including.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 0.8 lengths second (16.57) over 300m at Healesville. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.
