What Sandown Lakeside Races
Where Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171
When Wednesday, August 13, 2025
First Race 1pm AEST

Visit Dabble


Wednesday’s Victorian metro card is set for the Sandown Lakeside circuit with the rail out 6m the entire circuit and the course posted as a Good 4. The opener jumps at 1pm AEST and the closer at 5:05pm. Lakeside often rewards on-pace runners early, but once the racing line shifts, the best ground comes three-to-four off the fence in the straight with the rail out so far.

Best Bet at Sandown: Aqueduct

Aqueduct has come back a sharper, more professional galloper, stringing together three wins on the synthetic before graduating to a city-grade assignment. He draws to land 2–3 pairs behind the speed from barrier four, and the 3kg claim for Luke Cartwright keeps him nicely in at 59.5kg. His recent wins featured genuine tempo and strong last 400m splits, exactly the profile that transfers to Lakeside’s 1200m. With race-fit rivals like Some People Callme and Flying Valley to measure up against, a clean jump and tractable run-in transit should see Aqueduct put them away late.

Best Bet

Race 3 – Aqueduct Silks#1 Aqueduct (4)

4yo Gelding | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Luke Cartwright (a3) (62.5kg)

Next Best at Sandown: Du Clisson

Du Clisson is a likeable mare who keeps turning up and running time, and she gets the right set-up second-up at 1200m. Barrier 13 isn’t ideal, but Jordan Childs can ride patient, blend into the three-wide lane from the 500m and launch late — a pattern that often plays at Lakeside. Her profile (5:1-3-0) says she gives you a run for your money, and her recent seconds at BM64 grade stack up nicely against this lot. With even luck in transit, Du Clisson will take some holding out

Next Best

Race 8 – Du Clisson Silks#9 Du Clisson (13)

4yo Mare | T: Tom Dabernig | J: Jordan Childs (59kg)

Best Value at Sandown: Super Trooper

Super Trooper was dominant winning a BM70 at Pakenham last start, and finds another suitable 1400m with a soft map. From barrier three, Logan Bates can park the Freedman gelding just behind likely pace-setters King Tut and Emphasize, then angle off turning for home. He carries 59.5kg but again gets the 2kg pull from the apprentice, and his recent figures say he can sustain a strong 600m build at this trip. Super Trooper is holding together beautifully this prep and looks ready to go on with the job.

Best Value

Race 4 – Super Trooper Silks#3 Super Trooper (3)

4yo Gelding | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Logan Bates (a2) (59.5kg)
