Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 30 Journalists Share Posted July 30 What Sandown Hillside Races Where Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171 When Wednesday, July 31, 2024 First Race 12:25pm AEST Visit Dabble Another Wednesday metro meeting in Victoria heads to Sandown this week, with eight races set down for decision. Clear skies are forecast leading into the meeting, so the Heavy 8 track looks set to become at least a Soft 7 by raceday. The rail comes out 4m for the entire circuit, with the action commencing at 12:25pm AEST. Best Bet at Sandown: Orlabent Since transferring to Melody Cunningham’s barn, Orlabent has produced two stunning victories in recent weeks. The Hellbent progeny was a dominant winner on the Ballarat synthetic, and he was just as impressive at Murray Bridge next time out. He clearly loves wet tracks, winning three times and finishing second in another, and looks poised to build on that record as he steps up in grade. Best Bet Race 4 – #3 Orlabent (1) 4yo Gelding | T: Kris Lees | J: Beau Mertens (59kg) +340 with Neds Next Best at Sandown: Batrana After some luckless runs, Batrana registered a confidence-boosting win on the Ballarat synthetic on July 14. The Justify filly ran her rivals into the dirt after taking control of proceedings — a tactic she had never adopted before. It gives Beau Mertens options as she returns to town, and as she steps back into BM70 grade, Batrana looks like the best horse in the race. Next Best Race 7 – #1 Batrana (5) 3yo Filly | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Beau Mertens (60kg) +270 with PlayUp Best Value at Sandown: Reprisal The Danny O’Brien-trained Reprisal caught the eye when running into second place at Flemington on July 20. The three-year-old gelding ran on powerfully from the rear of the field, and if the track does continue to improve, it will suit the son of Trapeze Artist perfectly. Reprisal will need a luck from barrier 12, but with a strong finish, he can blouse the leaders at nice each-way odds with online bookmakers. Best Value Race 6 – #5 Reprisal (12) 3yo Gelding | T: Danny O’Brien | J: Jamie Mott (58kg) +850 with Picklebet Sandown Wednesday quaddie tips – 31/7/2024 Sandown quadrella selections Wednesday, July 31, 2024 1-2-3-6-7 1-2-4-5 1-3 1-2-4-5-6-10 | 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...
