Verdict

Good edition of the Sandown Cup with the Andrew Ramsden providing the key lead up. SIR CHARTWELL (5) was huge odds there but ran very well, beaten 1.3 lengths by Zakouma into third. He drops 8lbs off that and profiles as if the 2m will suit perfectly. The tricky one to gauge is POUNDING (2) who was a 1m horse in preparations gone by but has been racing very well over the longer trips lately, excellent in the Ramsden when second. He does meet the others much worse off at the weights and another 2f is pushing his limits but he's flying and the class. THE WESTERN FRONT (6) was sixth in the Ramsden in a solid effort and is in the mix ahead of TEMPESTI (3) who ran on well in the Warrnambool Cup.
