Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 1 hour ago Journalists Posted 1 hour ago What Sandown Stakes Race Day 2025 Where Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171 When Saturday, September 27, 2025 First Race 12:10pm AEST Visit Dabble The traditional AFL Grand Final Day meeting awaits punters at Sandown, where a competitive eight-race card is scheduled for Saturday afternoon. The Group 3 Sandown Stakes (1500m) headlines proceedings, while punters will get a better read on the three-year-old fillies in the Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m). The rail comes out 3m for the entirety of the Hillside circuit, while the track is rated a Good 4. Although there are some showers forecast for Melbourne on Thursday and Friday, fine conditions on Saturday should mean ideal conditions for racing. Below are HorseBetting.com.au’s free tips and feature picks for Sandown Stakes Day 2025, with the action set to commence at 12:10pm AEST. Thousand Guineas Prelude Tip: Custom Custom caught the eye when running on strongly at Moonee Valley in the Listed Atlantic Jewel Stakes (1200m). She was beaten two lengths by the smart Alpha Sofie but was the one out of the race, suggesting she is worth sticking with for the step up to 1400m. Mark Zahra will need a touch of luck from barrier one, but if the gaps come at the right time, Custom has the finishing burst to blouse her rivals in the 2025 Thousand Guineas Prelude. Thousand Guineas Prelude Race 6 – #8 Custom (1) 3yo Filly | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Mark Zahra (56kg) Sandown Stakes Tip: Evaporate Evaporate has not been seen since a luckless run in the Group 2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes (1400m) on August 16, where he showed a strong turn of foot to finish on the heels of genuine Group 1 runners. After a five-week freshen, he looks poised to strike in the 2025 Sandown Stakes. With even luck, Blake Shinn will have Evaporate in clear air in the home straight, and he should prove too hard to hold out this time. Sandown Stakes Race 7 – #1 Evaporate (10) 4yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blake Shinn (59kg) Best Bet at Sandown: King Zephyr King Zephyr went well in defeat at Moonee Valley first-up, doing his best work late over 1200m when beaten a length by the in-form La Fracas. He draws to gain a beautiful run in transit from barrier four under Jordan Childs and should be stalking the leaders throughout. The son of Hallowed Crown is already a winner when second-up, and with race fitness now on his side, King Zephyr simply looks too good for this BM84 field. Best Bet Race 4 – #1 King Zephyr (4) 5yo Gelding | T: Grahame Begg | J: Jordan Childs (59kg) Next Best at Sandown: Gold Medallist Gold Medallist has started her career with three straight wins, and her latest success at Bendigo suggests she is worth following on her first trip to town. The four-year-old mare produced a strong turn of foot when racing behind a strong speed, and she looks set to gain a similar run in transit under Emily Pozman from barrier two at Sandown. If she puts forward anything close to what she did last time out, Gold Medallist should be atop the podium once again. Next Best Race 1 – #2 Gold Medalist (2) 4yo Mare | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Emily Pozman (a3) (60.5kg) Saturday quaddie tips for Sandown Sandown quadrella selections Saturday, September 27, 2025 1-2-3-7-9 1-5-8 1-2-3-13 2-9-11 Horse racing tips View the full article Quote
