Metropolitan racing is set to return to Sandown’s Hillside track this Wednesday afternoon. The weather forecast hints at a perfect autumn’s day, with track conditions expected to start at a Good 4 and potentially improve throughout the day. The rail comes out 4m for the entire circuit, and racing is scheduled to kick off at 3:05pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Sandown: Freight Train
Freight Train could not have been more impressive on debut when winning by 1.8 lengths at Pakenham on February 15. Having settled midfield, the three-year-old gelding built through his gears like a good horse and reeled in his rivals with relative ease inside the final furlong. This BM64 looks to be the ideal stepping stone to something bigger, and from barrier two under Blake Shinn, he will be given every opportunity from an economical run.

Race 8 – 
#13 Freight Train (2)

Next Best at Sandown: Perilous Fighter
If his seven-length trial win at Sale on February 23 is anything to go by, the Clayton Douglas-trained Perilous Fighter looks to have returned in fine form. The best performances so far in his career have come when settling in a forward position and pouring on the pressure, and he did just that in his lead-in trial. From barrier six under Thomas Stockdale, the pair should have no issue settling outside the speed and then kicking clear of their rivals.

Best Value at Sandown: Finale
Finale returned from a three-month spell with a narrow runner-up effort at Pakenham on February 22, going down by a nostril when looking the winner with 100m to go. Race fitness seemingly got the Extreme Choice filly late, so second-up at the 1500m on Wednesday looks to be the recipe for success. This is obviously a tougher maiden, but with a nice draw in barrier five and some race fitness under her belt, Finale should be breaking maiden ranks at a nice price with horse racing bookies.

Race 3 – 
#13 Finale (5)
