THE WESTERN FRONT (5) won last start over 2m in the LR Sandown Cup at Sandown-Lakeside, making it four victories from eight appearances this campaign. In form and expected to measure up again. TEMPESTI (2) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 2. 5 lengths, over 2m in the LR Sandown Cup at Sandown-Lakeside. Sure to be tough to hold out. ALDER (4) finished second at Warrnambool two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1m4f at Sandown-Hillside, finishing 5. 5 lengths back in seventh. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. BOLD SOUL (1) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Warrnambool but raced below expectations last time over 1m2f at this track, finishing ninth and beaten 3. 5 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.
