Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 3 Journalists Share Posted August 3 What Sandown Lakeside Races Where Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171 When Sunday, August 4, 2024 First Race 12:15pm AEST Visit Dabble A rare Sunday meeting at Sandown awaits punters on the weekend with eight-races set down for decision. Consistent rain in Melbourne’s south-east means the track has come up a Soft 7, while the rail will stick to its true position the entire circuit. Racing at Sandown is set to commence at 12:15pm AEST. Best Bet at Sandown: Flamin’ Romans Flamin’ Romans was a dominant Geelong winner on July 12 over 1741m, and as he steps up to the 2100m for the first time, he shapes as the clear best bet of the day. The five-year-old gelding gave his rivals a start and a beating, and considering he was doing his best work through the line, the step up in trip should be no issue. John Allen will have him midfield with cover, and with a strong finish under his belt, Flamin’ Romans should prove too hard to hold out. Best Bet Race 8 – #1 Flamin’ Romans (5) 5yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: John Allen (61kg) +200 with Neds Next Best at Sandown: Hughes Hughes has been racing well without winning in recent times and as he steps back to BM64 grade, the son of Russian Revolution should be winning on Sunday. Having been beaten a length in BM70 company at the Sandown Lakeside 1400m on July 17, a return to the track and trip should bring the best out of him. Blake Shinn will need a touch of luck from barrier nine, but if Hughes can land the one-one, the race is his to lose. Next Best Race 5 – #3 Hughes (9) 5yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Blake Shinn (61kg) +250 with PlayUp Best Value at Sandown: Capper Thirtynine Capper Thirtynine has strung together consecutive victories and despite the rise in grade, the son of Vancouver can strike at an each-way price with online bookmakers. The four-year-old gelding has come from a midfield position at both of his last two starts and finished off strongly to reel in his rivals late in the piece. Sunday’s race sets up similarly for Capper Thirtynine, and as long he doesn’t get tapped three wide with no cover from barrier 10, he can cause a minor upset early on the Sandown card. Best Value Race 2 – #3 Capper Thirtynine (10) 4yo Gelding | T: Nick Ryan | J: Ben Melham (60.5kg) +1100 with Picklebet Sandown Sunday quaddie tips – 4/8/2024 Sandown quadrella selections Sunday, August 4, 2024 3-6-7 3-4-6-9 1-2-3-4-5 2-5 | 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...
