| What | Sandown Hillside Races |
| Where | Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171 |
| When | Wednesday, September 7, 2022 |
| First Race | 1pm AEST |
The Hillside track at Sandown Racecourse is the destination for metropolitan racing in Victoria this Wednesday afternoon. History has shown that backmarkers should still be able to make an impact with the rail set out 12m all the way around, and with improving conditions forecast leading into the meeting, we could be racing on a better surface than the current Soft 6. We kick off the day of racing at 1pm AEST.
SANDOWN BEST BET: Zouzarella
It has been over a year since Zouzarella tasted success in the Listed Atlantic Jewel Stakes, but Wednesday looks to be the day she picks up a confidence-boosting win. Since that victory, she has started favourite in a Thousand Guineas, where she was beaten two lengths by Fangirl in the Light Fingers Stakes, and then was simply outclassed in a Surround Stakes and William Reid Stakes. First-up this time in, she chased home the likes of Chain Of Lightning, She’s All Class and Kissonallforcheeks when beaten four lengths in the Cockram Stakes. Those sorts of form lines stand out like a sore thumb in a race like this. From barrier 13, look for Brett Prebble to have this girl settling midfield in the moving line before putting away this BM84 field.
Best Bet
Race 7 – 
#9 Zouzarella (13)
4yo Mare | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Brett Prebble (56.5kg)
NEXT BEST AT SANDOWN: Mahrez
Following a less than ideal run first-up, the Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained Mahrez will be looking to bounce back with a second career win. The four-year-old gelding simply did not handle the Heavy 9 conditions on August 24, so the improving track at Sandown should play into his hands. Considering he was only beaten 2.5 lengths in the Group 2 Autumn Stakes and Group 2 Caulfield Autumn Classic, he clearly has some ability. Despite not winning since his maiden success, he goes up against a bunch of perennial non-winners and should gain great benefit out of a race like this. Mark Zahra will have the son of Iffraaj lobbed midfield with cover, and when asked for an effort, Mahrez should prove too hard to hold out.

Race 4 – 
#13 Mahrez (9)
4yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr | J: Mark Zahra (59kg)
SANDOWN VALUE BET: Perfect World
The Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Perfect World is another one who brings Group form into this Sandown meeting. The five-year-old mare was beaten 1.5 lengths in November last year by Steinem in the Group 3 Summoned Stakes when finishing third, but then struggled to make much of an impact in her short autumn campaign. From barrier 11 with the booking of apprentice Matthew Cartwright, we expect to see the Pride Of Dubai mare settled in the first half a dozen so as to be within striking distance on the home turn. She has a nice enough turn of foot for a level like this, and as long as she can handle the 60kg first-up off a five-month spell, Perfect World looks a great bet with online bookmakers.

Race 5 – 
#2 Perfect World (11)
5yo Mare | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Matthew Cartwright (a1.5) (61.5kg)
