Racing returns to the Hillside track at Sandown on Wednesday afternoon, where a competitive eight-race program is set down for decision. With persistent rain across Melbourne’s south-east, we will be racing on a rain-affected track for the meeting, with the track a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances. The rail sticks to the true position, with action set to commence at 3:40pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Sandown: Silver Waves
Silver Waves has returned with two minor placings to begin her campaign, and on Wednesday we anticipate it will be third time lucky for the Caravaggio mare. The four-year-old mare looks well equipped to handle wet tracks, with a win and three minor placings to her name on rain-affected decks. She worked home nicely from the rear of the field at Caulfield last time out, and with the long straight of the Hillside track at Sandown at her disposal, she should take a power of beating. John Allen will look to have Silver Waves settled just worse than midfield, but with a strong finish under her bonnet, Silver Waves will prove too hard to hold out.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#7 Silver Waves (9)
4yo Mare | T: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace | J: John Allen (59.5kg)

Next Best at Sandown: Awash
Awash is deep into his first campaign, but at career start nine, he looks well-placed by the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace barn. The four-year-old gelding was a touch unlucky at Moonee Valley on December 23, when he was beaten a long neck behind Flash Feeling over the 1600m, having been denied a run at the 500m mark, before being forced into open air to be narrowly denied a victory. Barrier eight on Wednesday should see the son of Merchant Navy settled midfield with cover in the moving line, meaning luck should be taken out of the equation. With a strong finishing burst, Awash can return to the winner’s stall.

Race 7 – 
#7 Awash (8)

Best Value at Sandown: Berry Bubbly
We were with Berry Bubbly when the four-year-old mare finished fourth at Moonee Valley on December 30, and we’re happy to give her another chance on Wednesday. The four-year-old mare was only swamped late at The Valley after being softened up early on over the 1000m. She sticks at the 1000m, a trip she seemingly thrives at, and from barrier seven, she will look to cross the field under Carleen Hefel. With even luck, we’re confident Berry Bubbly can salute at a nice price with horse racing bookmakers.

Race 3 – 
#1 Berry Bubbly (7)
4yo Mare | T: Robbie Griffiths & Mathew de Kock | J: Carleen Hefel (a1.5) (61.5kg)
