Sandown racing tips

—

Race 1. (14:30) Sportsbet Race Previews Handicap (1400m)

#6 – Optimus @ $4.00

BET NOW

Team Freedman lines up Optimus, who ran fourth on debut at Sandown, and there has been good money come for him.

The two-year-old colt by I Am Invincible was only three lengths behind the winner, which has since looked good, so the form checks out.

We expect him to be tough to beat in the opener.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (15:05) Tile Importer BM64 (1600m)

#7 – Mongolian Mission @ $4.40

BET NOW

Mongolian Mission comes off three consecutive placings, including a handy third placing at Caulfield last time out.

The three-year-old placed behind Zakouma, and although not close to the winner, it was solid first-up effort over the mile.

He’s drawn to receive all favours, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (15:40) Sportsbet Up & Coming Stars Maiden (1200m)

#4 – Santana @ $3.90

BET NOW

Santana didn’t fire on debut but his form this preparation includes back-to-back placings at Caulfield, which is good form for this race.

The three-year-old son of Ole Kirk was a short margin behind Ten Warriors last week, and we expect that form to hold up well.

Barrier eight isn’t ideal, but he goes well with a good jump.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (16:15) Lockettled BM74 (2100m)

#8 – Broadhurst @ $11.00

BET NOW

Boasting two wins from his last three starts is Broadhurst, who scored both wins at Kyneton.

She makes a rise in class for this race, but the four-year-old mare has her confidence levels up, and she could measure up.

Punters get value odds, so she is worth including as a value pick.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (16:50) Sportsbet Fast Form BM64 (1400m)

#6 – Gold Coast Belle @ $3.90

BET NOW

Gold Coast Belle fought gamely last time out when running a close second behind Paltrow Miss, and that’s a good form guide for this race.

The three-year-old filly by So You Think looked good when winning at Seymour prior to that, and she could have a bright future.

We expect the $3.90 odds to firm on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (17:25) Thoroughbred Club of Australia BM70 (1200m)

#3 – Highland Harley @ $10.00

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consistent form is Highland Harley, who ran second at Cranbourne at his last two starts.

The six-year-old son of Highland Reel owns five wins and 13 placings overall, and four of those wins came over this distance.

Barrier 12 isn’t ideal, but having Craig Williams in the saddle helps.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (18:00) Ive BM70 (1600m)

#8 – Factcheck @ $2.25

BET NOW

Boasting a win and a placing from his last two starts is Factcheck, who only missed by a nose at Pakenham last time out.

That was a good first-up run over the mile, and it shouldn’t take him long to win another race, especially with Williams riding.

Look for him to settle handy off the inside barrier and find a good kick.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (18:30) Sportsbet Same Race Multi BM70 (1400m)

#1 – Alero @ $10.00

BET NOW

Alero has enjoyed a successful preparation with wins at Sandown and Pakenham, and he could add another to this record.

The four-year-old son of Toronado is a four-time winner from 13 starts, and he’s yet to finish worse than third at the track, which includes a win.

1.5kg comes off his back from recent Group 1-winning jockey Logan Bates.

Stake: 1 Unit
