Sandown Park Race 2

Sandown Members Night 7 May

Prize Money: $3,940

BANDIT SWAGGER (2) is having his first run over this longer distance. In the money last start when third (29.77) at this track over 515m. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. BOLD ASSAIL (3) turned in a better effort at The Meadows last start, finishing second behind Miss Sparkles (35.48) in a Restricted WIN. Has the pace to be prominent. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Will give a great sight again. IRISH ZOE (1) has been hard to follow lately, running seventh (29.33) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Sale. Well placed here and should do much better. WHITE MOCHA (8) comes under notice as a past winner at this course and distance.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing fourth (35.48) at this track last start. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need the right run to feature.
