BRILLIANT galloper Mister Harlewood has maintained Sandown Cup favoritism after drawing box one in heat three at Sandown Park this Thursday night.

Winner at his past five appearances, including four in spectacular fashion over the distance trips at Sandown and The Meadows, Mister Harlewood is the $3.50 favourite in all-in betting for the time-honoured group 1 series.

FIELDS AND FORM FOR SANDOWN THIS THURSDAY NIGHT

Thursday night's Sandown Cup heats see the return to racing of champion stayer Tornado Tears, the son of Fernando Bale eyeing a third straight Sandown Cup berth when he takes his place in heat four.

Winner of the showpiece staying event in 2018, delivering trainer Robert Britton back-to-back Sandown Cups following Fanta Bale's ‘17 triumph, Tornado Tears also qualified for last year's Sandown Cup decider, finishing down the track to Rajasthan, one of his combatants this Thursday night.

Tornado Tears is $21 in all-in betting to add another group 1 to his stellar resume, while Rajasthan is $12 after returning to the winner's list with a slashing middle distance Sandown win on Sunday.

The opening cup heat sees Tornado Tears' younger brother Here's Tears take his place for trainer Rob Britton, the group 1 Super Stayers hero, which boasts the Sandown 715 metre track record at 41.16, currently $9 in Sandown Cup betting.

Sitting on the second line of all-in betting at $7 is hugely talented up and comer Captain Dynamite for Kel Greenough, with right beside him group 1 Hume Cup winner True Detective.
