Sandown will host a very competitive eight-race card on the Hillside circuit this Wednesday afternoon. The track was rated as a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances, and with more rain forecast for Monday and Tuesday, the surface won’t change much before the start of the meeting. The rail will be pushed +12m for the entire circuit, with racing scheduled to kick off at 1pm AEST.
Best Bet at Sandown: Half Yours
Half Yours has returned with back-to-back wins to kick off his second preparation, with his six-length victory at Cranbourne last time out being the better of the two. The Ciaron Maher-trained gelding was a strong winner at Geelong over 1430m before smashing his rivals over 1600m last start, so the rise to 1800m third-up should be ideal. Ethan Brown retains the ride, and from barrier three, Half Yours can settle closer to the speed and prove hard to beat once again.
Best Bet
Race 8 – 
#14 Half Yours (9)
4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Ethan Brown (58.5kg)

Next Best at Sandown: Cavity Bay
Cavity Bay was last seen finishing third in the $175,000 Gold Ingot at Caulfield in July. With the benefit of a short spell and a strong trial victory at Colac under her belt, this daughter of Cable Bay should be ready to go first-up over 1300m. Harry Coffey will be legged aboard for his third ride on this girl, and if the pair can settle in the first half of the field from barrier six, Cavity Bay can return with a win.

Race 6 – 
#11 Cavity Bay (6)

Best Value at Sandown: Enchanted Jenni
Enchanted Jenni ran home strongly to finish second behind Escarpa over 1100m at Bendigo on debut. The Ben, Will & JD Hayes-trained filly settled near the rear, looped the field and charged home down the middle of the track. Due to the lack of race experience in this field, expect them to run along at a good tempo and set the race up for Enchanted Jenni to swoop down the outside late.
Best Value
Race 2 – 
#12 Enchanted Jenni (10)
3yo Filly | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Declan Bates (55kg)
