Sandown Park Race 3 - Sportsbet Ht2

ZIPPING MEARES (7) hit the ground running off an inside draw last start and was never headed (27.87) at Bendigo in a Maiden over 500m. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Great chance again. EXCITED TWITCH (3) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (29.97) at this track over 515m. Expected to be in the finish again. WE CAN (4) was a course and distance placegetter (29.94) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 1.2 lengths second in a Mix 6/7. Harder here but expected to measure up. BLIZZARD BYRNE (2) has definite claims at his first try at this circuit.

Had been in consistent form with four minors on end before missing the frame last start when sixth (25.90) at Warrnambool. Nicely drawn on the inside but needs to find best form to feature.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth in a Restricted WIN on October 1 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Melt Max, beaten 8 lengths (26.00). Coming out of a very strong form race. Can feature with the right run.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (29.97) over 515m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 435m at Sale. This looks too tough.

Last start finished fifth over 515m at this track, beaten 23 lengths (31.25) behind Kiwi Birchip in a Mix 6/7 on October 8. Likely to find this a bit tough.
