Sandown racing tips


Race 1. (13:00) Blackbook Maiden (1200m)

#10 – Kiwi Harmony @ $4.60

Kiwi Harmony looked good when running second on debut, and it was good to see her finish off the race well.

The three-year-old filly will need a touch of luck from a wide draw, but she is likely to get back in the run and flash home late.

Take the each-way odds available.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:35) MRC Membership Feel the Thrill BM64 (1600m)

#7 – Butternut Princess @ $2.35

Looking to cap off three consecutive placings with a win is Butternut Princess, who finished second last time out at Sandown.

The four-year-old mare by Capitalist owns a win and six placings from 11 starts, and any moisture in the surface doesn’t worry her.

We recommend taking the odds before money comes for her.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (14:10) Green Tick BM64 (2400m)

#2 – Legatus @ $6.00

Shooting for back-to-back wins is Legatus, who won at Sandown by 2.3 lengths, and he has every chance of winning again.

The seven-year-old son of Preferment runs best over this distance with two wins, and this isn’t an overly strong field, so he could take advantage.

His turn-of-foot is better than most in this field, so put him on top.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (14:45) Lockettled BM70 (2100m)

#4 – She Said @ $5.50

Money has come for She Said, who made it consecutive wins at Seymour last time out, and that form is good enough.

The five-year-old mare has yet to race at Sandown, but she owns four wins on soft tracks, and she has yet to taste defeat with Celine Gaudray in the saddle.

The each-way odds are worth taking in an even field.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (15:20) Get on Extra BM70 (1600m)

#5 – Surfin’ Bird @ $3.90

Boasting two wins from three starts is Surfin’ Bird, who won at Moe and Geelong, which is good enough form for this race.

The Waterhouse/Bott-trained mare is bred to be better than average, and with both wins coming on soft tracks, the conditions are ideal.

Look for her to settle on the speed and run them into the ground.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (15:55) Tile Importer BM64 (1300m)

#3 – Climb the Ladder @ $5.50

Climb the Ladder won his only start at Sandown, and getting back to this track could see him get back to that form.

The four-year-old didn’t fire at Rosehill last start, but going from Sydney to Melbourne should only help his chances of winning.

Punters get each-way odds to enjoy from bookmakers, so include him in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:30) The Big Screen Company BM70 (1200m)

#9 – Documentary @ $4.40

We’re prepared to give Documentary another chance after disappointing runs in town at Caulfield and Flemington.

The seven-year-old gelding by Bon Hoffa looked good when winning his first two races after a long spell, and he should be fitter now.

Take the $4.40 odds before money comes for him on race day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (17:05) Race Replays BM74 (1400m)

#2 – One Long Day @ $7.00

One Long Day didn’t fire at Flemington last time out, but his form prior to that is good enough to be competitive in this grade.

The five-year-old son of Epaulette owns four wins and four second placings from 10 starts, so his overall record is excellent.

Punters get $7, so snap up the value.

Stake: 2 Units
