Sandown Race 5 - Ive > Hcp
Tricky little race. BIG SWINGER (6) is probably the one to beat. He got first run but did well to beat King Zephyr two back at Flemington before another strong effort behind that horse (and Meridius) here in a similar race. With the right run from the inside gate he'll go close again. EL ROCKO (4) was heavily backed on the heavy track at Caulfield but was a touch disappointing, albeit you needed to be as wide as possible there. He should get decent control here and take plenty of catching. COEUR VOLANTE (3) was big odds but ran a great race fresh in Listed company. At her best she's very good and the fresh run said she might be back, keeping safe. PUNCH LANE (1) hasn't fired in two runs back off a long break but could be ready to show something. GRID GIRL (7) was solid fresh in the Meridius race and should improve off that.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign 11th of 15 at Ascot in the G2 Perth Cup January 1 over 2400m, 7 len behind Apulia carrying 56.5kg at $13. When resuming last campaign second last of 11 at Ascot in the G3 Eurythmic October 18 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Diamond Scene carrying 57.5kg at $91. Would prefer him over further with a run or two under the belt.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of five months. Finished off last campaign 14th of 18 at Gold Coast in the LR Mm Cup January 17 over 1400m, 4 len behind King Of Roseau with 55kg at $21. Previous preparation first-up won by neck Ararat Ararat Bowl November 9 over 1300m defeating Mytemptation carrying 61kg at $6.50. Handy sort who can run a forward race, wet ground a query though.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd of 16 at this track Bm100 on May 23 over 1400m, slow going 2.75 len behind Meridius carrying 56.5kg at $5. The start before that won by 0.5 len at Flemington Bm100 April 25 over 1400m defeating King Zephyr with 54kg at $5.50. Brings the right form and is well placed.
