Visit Dabble

Sandown Racecourse is the destination for Victorian metro racing on Saturday, with a bumper 10-race program set for decision. The rail is in the true position for the entire circuit, and with no significant rainfall on the radar, the track should be in Good 4 condition prior to the opening race at 11:25am local time.

Best Bet at Sandown: Let’srollthedice

Let’srollthedice returns to Victoria after a confidence-building win at Rosehill on April 27. The son of Dundeel fought hard for that victory, picking himself up to score by a nose. He gets a similar setup in this BM100, and with John Allen likely to gain an economical run from barrier three, expect another bold showing by Let’srollthedce as he searches for back-to-back wins.

Best Bet

Race 7 – #2 Let’srollthedice (3)

4yo Gelding | T: Danny O’Brien | J: John Allen (57kg)

Next Best at Sandown: Cawdor

French import Cawdor makes his Australian debut after a 272-day spell and looks to have acclimatised well to his new home at the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young barn. He won a recent jump-out at Cranbourne on May 6, doing it comfortably over the 1000m short course. Being first-up over 1400m shows good intent from the stable, and with Group-level form under his belt overseas, Cawdor looks perfectly placed in this BM84 contest.

Next Best

Race 9 – #17 Cawdor (9)

4yo Gelding | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: Luke Currie (56.5kg)

+500 with Playup

Best Value at Sandown: William Thomas

William Thomas hasn’t found the winners’ enclosure since April 2020, but he can finally break the long run of outs in this BM78. He was held up for a run in his most recent effort at this course and distance on May 15, hitting the line with plenty in hand behind Scissor Step. He draws to get a mid-field sit with cover under Ben Allen from stall five, so with a bit more luck in transit this time, watch for William Thomas to burst clear at an each-way price with online bookmakers.
