Racing heads to Sandown for the third time in the space of a week, with eight races set for decision this Wednesday. The rail comes out 3m for the entire circuit, and a favourable forecast in the lead-up suggests the initial Soft 6 rating could improve towards a Good 4. The action is set to get underway at 12:25pm AEST.
Best Bet at Sandown: Fretta
Fretta produced a solid return on the Hillside track at Sandown on July 24. Despite being left flat-footed when the sprint went on, the mare picked up late and was doing her best work through the line. The Frankel mare steps up to 1600m, which seems more to her liking, and from barrier three under apprentice Tom Prebble, Fretta will get every chance to bring up a third career win at start six.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#3 Fretta (3)
5yo Mare | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Tom Prebble (a3) (60.5kg)

Next Best at Sandown: Luijzika
Luijzika went from a Geelong maiden victory to being beaten by 4.7 lengths in a strong Group 3 on just her third start. That suggests not only does Ciaron Maher have a high opinion of her, but her best is yet to come. With some quiet jumpouts in preparation for her first race since February, Luijzika will be primed for this and should prove too hard to hold out.
Next Best
Race 4 – 
#7 Luijzika (4)
4yo Mare | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Ethan Brown (56kg)

Best Value at Sandown: Japanese Emperor
While he has not tasted success since his maiden victory almost two years ago, Japanese Emperor meets one of the easiest fields he has seen in some time. The five-year-old gelding was beaten a half-length by Legarto in Group 1 company 18 months ago as a three-year-old, and if he can recapture that form first-up, Japanese Emperor can reign supreme at a very generous price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#3 Japanese Emperor (3)
5yo Gelding | T: Mike Moroney & Glen Thompson | J: Declan Bates (61kg)
