Sandown Park Race 8

BOUNDING CHIEF (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing third (30.03) at this track. Form here sound including four wins. One of the contenders. LAUNCH MODE (8) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (35.02) at The Meadows. In the mix. WHITE CREST (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by a long neck at The Meadows in a handy 30.57 beating Riversdale Mick. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Significant danger. HOCUS POCUS (2) can measure up with the right run.

Strong performance to win by a long neck at The Meadows over 525m (30.57) beating Riversdale Mick in Free For All on March 25. Looks the one to beat again.
