Sandown Park Race 8 - Sandown Vet Clinic
BOLD ASSAIL (2) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by one length at Shepparton in a handy 36.92 beating Unique Star. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Great chance to get the job done again. HOUSE OF SINS (5) is an honest type in the frame at seven of 22 starts including last time when third (34.41) over 600m at The Meadows. Strike rate this distance strong having won three of five tries. Looks suited and expected to run well. TAW MAJOR (8) is an accomplished stayer with a great record at the longer races. Finished second latest over 595m at this track (34.56) in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well at the journey winning three races. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to be in the finish again.

Modest effort last time out when sixth over 595m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 5.5 lengths third over 600m at The Meadows, clocking 34.41. Won at his only start from this draw. Go close again.
