| When | Wednesday, August 10, 2022 |
| First Race | 12:25pm AEST |
Racing returns to Sandown on Wednesday with eight races programmed for the Hillside circuit on a predicted Soft 5 surface. Race one gets underway at 12:25pm, with the quaddie legs starting at 2:45pm in race five – a 1300m Benchmark 64 for the boys. It looks to be a tough day for punters, so we have gone wide in our quaddie, but hopefully it pays generous dividends. The last race of the afternoon comes at 4:30pm.
SANDOWN BEST BET: CULILY ACE
The Soft track is the key for this Daniel Bowman-trained mare by Bon Hoffa x Esprit De Vel. He has been in the money in five of eight runs on Soft ground, and that has included two good wins. At Caulfield two weeks ago she ran 11th of 14 but wasn’t beaten too far after gradually making up good ground in the concluding stages over the 1400m. Melissa Julius is aboard and barrier eight should hold no concern in a field of 15. She is not a certainty, so we will be wanting nice odds, and if she can repeat a run like her race two starts back where she was third at Sandown Lakeside, she should be a big chance for top three again. Freeways for James Cummings and Jamie Kah will be the one everyone is talking about in this race, but at the good odds with online bookmakers, we are happy to be with Culily Ace on a suitable surface.

NEXT BEST AT SANDOWN: FEUERMOND
Lindsey Smith prepares this gelding who hasn’t set the world alight on rain-affected going in his last couple. If the track stays at Soft 5, we like him as he has won three of six on Soft tracks, but we might give him a miss if the track gets downgraded to a Heavy. At this track two starts back on a Heavy 9 he wasn’t quite himself, but he did back that up with a solid eighth at Caulfield – a run that was better than it looks in the form guides. He hasn’t won in over 400 days, but he is third up from a freshen and we think Smith will have him 100 percent now. Wisaka for the Mike Moroney camp is in hot form and will have to be respected after being in the top four in each of his last five starts.

SANDOWN VALUE BET: BRAWL
Paul Preusker prepares this gelding who is dropping back in distance to the 1800m. He has been racing beyond 2000m and doing well without winning of late, but he didn’t really finish the race off at Mildura last start (fourth) over 2000m. Brett Prebble hops on and with the horse having won four from 16 starts, he must have a bit of ability. We will soon see if the drop back to the 1800m is a master stroke by Preusker.
