Sandown racing tips

—

Race 1. (15:40) Sportsbet Blackbook BM70 (2400m)

#1 – American Wolf @ $3.30

BET NOW

American Wolf looks ready to win after finishing third at Flemington last time out behind Sun Gift.

That form should hold up well at midweek level, and the four-year-old son of Tivaci shouldn’t take long to get back to winning form.

Take the odds before late money comes for him.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (16:15) Thoroughbred Club of Australia Maiden (1300m)

#3 – Loud Charlie @ $5.50

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Loud Charlie, who wasn’t far away when running third on debut at Terang.

The three-year-old son of Prague was only 1.6 lengths behind the winner, who won with ease on Monday afternoon at Geelong.

We expect him to fight out the finish.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (16:50) Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives BM70 (1600m)

#1 – Enchanted Jenni @ $2.45

BET NOW

Enchanted Jenni could get back to winning form after scoring three consecutive victories earlier this preparation.

The four-year-old mare by Per Incanto has been defeated twice since, but she went down fighting at Caulfield behind Angland.

61kg isn’t easy to carry, but she’s good enough to put this field away.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (17:25) Sportsbet Fast Form Maiden (1000m)

#9 – Headbanger @ $3.40

BET NOW

The Graeme Begg-trained filly owns two placings from three starts, and she has promised to exit maidens soon.

She started her career with a placing at Hawkesbury before getting back to form with a third at Cranbourne, and she didn’t get all favours.

Barrier nine is awkward, but she should go close with luck.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (18:00) Stow Storage Solutions BM66 (1000m)

#6 – Fully Calculated @ $7.50

BET NOW

Looking to cap off solid form is Fully Calculated, who owns three wins and seven placings from 17 starts.

The four-year-old mare by Deep Field ran close when second at Sale last time out, and a repeat of that should be good enough.

Punters get value odds in an even betting field.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (18:30) Sportsbet More Places Handicap (1400m)

#3 – Godtfred Kirk @ $3.40

BET NOW

Money should come for Godtfred Kirk, who needed the run when fourth fresh up at Geelong.

The three-year-old son of Ole Kirk owns a win and a placing from five starts, with the win coming over this distance.

We expect him to fight out the finish, and having a strong rider in the saddle helps.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 7. (19:00) Ive C1 Handicap (1300m)

#5 – Yukaina @ $2.60

BET NOW

Mitchell Freedman lines up Yukaina, who couldn’t have been more impressive when winning by 4.3 lengths on debut.

The three-year-old son of Maurice led throughout and kicked away at Colac, which should be an excellent form guide.

Look for him to settle handy to the pace and repeat the dose.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 8. (19:30) Sportsbet Race Replays BM66 (1800m)

#1 – Taka Speed @ $4.80

BET NOW

Enjoying a winning run is Taka Speed, who scored at Mornington before doubling down at Pakenham last time out.

The four-year-old son of Savabeel paid $4.40 when scoring at Pakenham, and punters get each-way odds again, which are better than expected.

Getting 2kg off his back helps with the big weight.

Stake: 1 Unit
