Sandown Park Race 12

Sportsbet Green Tick (300+ Rank)

Stake: $3,607

GUSTO (2) is better than last start when fourth (30.47) from Box 7 at this track over 515m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can atone. RUMOUR CONFIRMED (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (30.33) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Goes very well from this draw with five wins and two minor placings from 12 starts. Worth another chance. ZIPPING CRUSADER (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (31.45) last time in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Has a good record at this journey. Worth another chance. WILD CUDDLE (7) is always a threat when she draws this box.

Missed the frame latest (30.33) when seventh over 515m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Strong record off the draw with five wins and two minors from 12 starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Last start finished 4th on June 23 over 515m at this track behind Uptight beaten 5.5 lengths (30.47) in a Grade 5 NP. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
