The Lakeside circuit at Sandown will host yet another midweek metro meeting this Wednesday afternoon, with an eight-race card set down for decision. Despite the the initial Soft 5 rating, a favourable forecast for Melbourne should push the track into Good 4 territory. The rail comes out 6m for the entire circuit, with the action commencing at 1pm AEST.

Best Bet at Sandown: Ndola

Ndola could not have done much more in his first two starts. The son of Justify was a dominant debut winner on the Pakenham synthetic on June 24, then ran home strongly behind Public Attention at Caulfield when beaten a long neck. This BM64 is a slight drop in grade, and despite needing to lug 60kg under Luke Currie, Ndola should be making it two wins from his first three starts.

Best Bet

Race 4 – #1 Ndola (5)

3yo Colt | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Luke Currie (60kg)

+180 with Neds

Next Best at Sandown: Freight Train

Freight Train has not been seen since he was outclassed in the Group 2 Alister Clark Stakes (2040m) on March 23. He will be hard to beat in this BM64 affair, however, and the four-year-old gelding has warmed up with a couple of smart jumpouts. If he produces anywhere near what he is capable of, Freight Train should prove too classy for this lot first-up.
