Sandown Park Race 10 - Schillaci At Stud
AWESOME BANDIT (3) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 6 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 29.77 beating It's Okay. Has a low draw and has a good record over this journey. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. SHIMA BLUSH (2) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 9 length win at The Meadows in a handy 34.54. Has a low draw and has the ability and in winning form. Should be in this for a long way. HOLDEN BALE (1) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at The Meadows over 525m (30.71). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings six times from nine attempts. One of the better hopes. DEVIL'S SYMPATHY (7) is worth including.
