Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 18 Journalists Share Posted March 18 What Sandown Hillside Races Where Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171 When Wednesday, March 20, 2024 First Race 2:30pm AEDT Visit Dabble Sandown’s Hillside track is gearing up to host metropolitan racing this Wednesday afternoon. Weather predictions suggest a possibility of rain overnight on Tuesday, with scattered showers expected to persist throughout Wednesday. The rail will be positioned 9m out across the entire circuit, with the action slated to commence at 2:30pm AEDT. Best Bet at Sandown: The Shaper It took the judge several minutes to split The Shaper and Quickster in a tight photo finish at the Sandown Lakeside 1300m on March 6, and despite not getting the chocolates on that day, The Shaper looks set to go one better. The three-year-old gelding will relish the step up to 1400m, considering the way he hit the line last time out. From barrier six, Damian Lane will position him wherever he pleases with a touch of cover, and if he runs anywhere near what he produced against Quickster, The Shaper should be breaking maiden ranks at the third time of asking. Best Bet Race 1 – #5 The Shaper (6) 3yo Gelding | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Damian Lane (59kg) +100 with Neds Next Best at Sandown: Donegal Donegal is set to drop back from Group 3 company at Flemington, back to a BM70 where she is set to appreciate the drop in grade. The American Pharoah was simply outclassed and found the going a bit too firm for her liking, so the forecast rain and class drop should suit her perfectly. With plenty of speed engaged over the 1400m, the race shapes perfectly for the three-year-old filly to storm home from the rear of the field. With Celine Gaudray’s claim getting Donegal in with just 57.5kg on her back, Donegal will prove too hard to hold out in the second leg of the quaddie. Next Best Race 6 – #4 Donegal (10) 3yo Filly | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Celine Gaudray (a1.5) (59kg) +400 with Playup Best Value at Sandown: Auspirit Having finished third in a similar race that she lines up in on Wednesday on March 6, Auspirit can find her way to the winner’s stall from a handy draw. The Australia progeny was forced to sustain a long run from the rear of the field and peaked on her run in the shadows of the winning post. She stays at the 2400m for this assignment, and from barrier five under John Allen, she can hold a mid-field spot with cover. That was her first crack at the distance, so with the miles in her legs this deep into her campaign, Auspirit presents great value with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 4 – #8 Auspirit (5) 5yo Mare | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: John Allen (57.5kg) +900 with Picklebet Sandown Hillside Wednesday quaddie tips – 20/3/2024 Sandown quadrella selections Wednesday, March 20, 2024 3-7-9 1-6-7 4-5-8-13 5-7-8-12-15 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
