The Lakeside circuit at Sandown is set to host eight races this Wednesday afternoon. With scorching temperatures forecast in the leadup, an upgrade to a Good 3 at some stage is a near certainty. The rail will be out 9m for the entire circuit, with the first race set to jump at 3:40pm AEDT.

Best Bet at Sandown: Climb The Ladder

Climb The Ladder caught the eye on debut at Mornington when charging home from the rear of the field over 1200m. The three-year-old gelding went down by 1.8 lengths on that day, but the step up to 1400m looks ideal for the son of Ardrossan. Damian Lane will likely have the Chris Waller-trained runner in the second half of the field from barrier seven, and if he gets a bum to follow in the home straight, Climb The Ladder should be overhauling his rivals late.

Best Bet

Race 2 – Climb The Ladder Silks#2 Climb The Ladder (7)

3yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Damian Lane (59kg)

Next Best at Sandown: Truffle Finder

Clinton McDonald’s Truffle Finder was only beaten a half-length by the smart Untapped at Pakenham last time out. The five-year-old gelding was last on the home turn and made up a stack of ground late. If he replicates that same finish, there is no reason Truffle Finder cannot salute in the quaddie opener.

5yo Gelding | T: Clinton McDonald | J: Ben Melham (59.5kg)

Best Value at Sandown: Active Duty

Active Duty is racing in fine form and presents great value with horse racing bookmakers. The son of National Defense was only nosed out in the final stride at Moonee Valley last time out, but his BM64 victory by 4.3 lengths the start prior suggests he is right in this. Fred Kersley will give him the run of the race from barrier one, and if the gap comes at the right time, Active Duty can salute.

Best Value

Race 7 – Active Duty Silks#3 Active Duty (1)

4yo Gelding | T: Lindsey Smith | J: Fred Kersley (58kg)
