Good book for Oliver in Sandown return

Damien Oliver has a strong book of rides at Sandown for his return from a one-month suspension for failing a breath test.

The 10-time Melbourne premiership winner’s mounts include Group Three placegetter Jalan Jalan, the early favourite in the 1300m-handicap for three-year-olds.

Oliver was outed on the final day of last month’s Warrnambool carnival for registering .035 and .030, above the .020 threshold for jockeys riding in races.

He decided to return at Sandown rather than chase rides at Saturday’s Group One meeting at Eagle Farm.

He will, however, be back in action in Brisbane the following week when he rides Stradbroke Handicap favourite Azkadellia.

Oliver has also picked up the ride on Red Alto in the Queensland Derby on the same day.

Red Alto, a maiden after 14 starts, ran fourth in the Victoria Derby at Flemington in the spring and was seventh behind Mackintosh in the Grand Prix Stakes at Doomben last week.
