The Hillside track at Sandown is scheduled to host an eight-race card on Wednesday afternoon, and HorseBetting brings you best bets, quaddie numbers and top odds from Australia’s top betting sites. The track is rated a Good 4, the rail will be in the true position throughout, and racing kicks off at 3:40pm AEDT.
Sandown Best Bet – Inverell
Power couple Clayton Douglas and Jamie Kah are set to combine with their potential Group 1 runner Inverell when he steps out over 1400m at Sandown. The son of Shocking holds a nomination for the Australian Guineas and looks perfectly placed to kick off his campaign with a win here. Outside of his debut win, he simply has had zero luck in his career. He was flattened at a crucial time in the VRC Derby trial in September and then chased home a smart field in the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes. The step back to a Class 1 is ideal, and considering he has a win at 1400m when first-up in the past, he looks the goods here.
Next Best at Sandown – Along The River
In the opening leg of the quaddie, we will be hoping the Mathew Ellerton-trained Along The River can make it three wins in his past four starts. The three-year-old colt by Written Tycoon chased home a smart duo in Clemenceau and Squid Game at Flemington on January 1. He is six weeks between runs on Wednesday and looks set to appreciate the drop back to a BM64. Despite drawing barrier two, we anticipate Jamie Kah will have Along The River settled in the rear of the field. He needs to lug 61kg but has a sharp turn of foot and should have the last look at them. We are more than happy to take the $2.90 on offer from Ladbrokes.
Best Value at Sandown – Our Modena
The Patrick Payne-trained Our Modena returns the Sandown Hillside track and will be hopeful of repeating her winning effort at the track two starts back. The five-year-old mare out of Tavistock beat home subsequent winner Yulong Code when putting two lengths on her rivals here on January 5. We expect Josh Richards will have her settled midfield with cover before charging home over the final 300m. With Richards’ 2kg claim, Our Modena will go around with 58kg, which will only benefit her chances of finishing over the top of her rivals. The $9 from Neds looks a nice price.
