Sandown Saturday racing tips & best odds | June 15, 2024
| What | Sandown Lakeside Races |
| Where | Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171 |
| When | Saturday, June 15, 2024 |
| First Race | 11:50am AEST |
Metropolitan racing in Melbourne heads to the Hillside track at Sandown on Saturday with nine races carded. The track is a Soft 6, and although it’s been a wet week in Victoria, a clear forecast for raceday means there is a slight chance of an upgrade. The rail comes out 5m, with the action commencing at 11:50am AEST.
Best Bet at Sandown: Batrana
Batrana put in a nice run first-up from a seven-month spell, finishing less than a length off British Angel after racing in tight room in the Caulfield home straight. The Justify progeny hit the line better than most once in clear air inside the final furlong, suggesting she was worth following wherever she went next. Harry Coffey will have his mount settled in a perfect position from barrier five, and with the long straight on the Hillside track set to aid her cause, Batrana should prove too hard to hold out.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#5 Batrana (5)
3yo Filly | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Harry Coffey (58.5kg)
Next Best at Sandown: Arqana
Arqana has been racing in consistent form this preparation, notching up a maiden victory before placing in two of her next three run. The Merchant Navy mare caught the eye at Caulfield on June 1, hitting the line nicely when running on in a race that was run to suit those up on speed. This race looks to be run at a more genuine clip, meaning Jye McNeil can have Arqana out the back of the field before running over the top of her rivals late.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#14 Arqana (7)
4yo Mare | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Jye McNeil (55kg)
Best Value at Sandown: Scissor Step
Scissor Step has two wins from three starts at the Sandown Hillside 1000m, and he looks well placed to build on that record. The son of Toronado trailed the speed nicely on May 15 before pouncing on the lead and holding off his rivals inside the final 100m. He’s drawn barrier 16, but with the in-form Jaylah Kennedy claiming 3kg, Scissor Step has the ability to outrun his each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#1 Scissor Step (16)
5yo Gelding | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Jaylah Kennedy (a3) (62kg)
