Sandown Race 7 - Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives (Bm74)
TEST OF LOVE (5) made his Australian debut off an 11-month break at Sale having formerly plied his trade in Hong Kong, far too good on speed there to score by 1.75 lengths. Imagine she'll strip a fair bit fitter for that and take catching once more. HEDONIST (3) is going very well this time in, a dominant five-length winner at Warrnambool two back, just run down by a smart one at Caulfield last time. He lands in a good trailing spot here and will be very hard to hold out. SPANISH BLAZE (1) resumes. He didn't fire in his local debut but has had more time to acclimatise now and the Freedman/Brown combination has to be respected. WINSOME STAR (6) has claims off a narrow win here last time out.

Form hard to fault. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 9 at Caulfield Bm70 on January 31 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Two Wolves with 58kg at $2.45. The run before that favourite; won by 5 len at Warrnambool Bm78 January 11 over 1400m defeating Jacks On Ice with 53kg at $5.50. Brings the right form and should go close.
