The Hillside track at Sandown is in action once again on Wednesday afternoon, where a competitive eight-race card is set down for decision. The track is rated a Good 4, but with the threat of rain in the latter half of the program, we could see a downgrade to the soft range at some point. The rail comes out 9m, with the opening event so to commence at 3:05pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Sandown: Freight Train
Freight Train was nearly bombproof through a three-start spring campaign when winning twice and finishing a close to second to Electric Impulse. The four-year-old gelding looks to have plenty of upside, and considering he is undefeated through two first-up runs, he clearly looks the one to beat in the penultimate event. From barrier four, the son of Shamus Award will likely settle midfield, but armed with a strong turn of foot, Freight Train will prove too hard to hold out.
Best Bet
Race 7 – 
#3 Freight Train (4)
4yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Blake Shinn (61.5kg)
Next Best at Sandown: Last Druid
Last Druid was not given much hope when returning from a spell at Wyong, having been forced to cover ground with no cover towards the rear of the field. The fact the three-year-old gelding finished 2.2 lengths off the leader despite the run suggested with a more economical run in transit next time, he’d be worth sticking with. He is guaranteed a soft run from barrier two on Wednesday, and with the length of the Hillside straight set to benefit him, Last Druid will be able to build through his gears and blouse the leaders.
Next Best
Race 3 – 
#8 Last Druid (2)
3yo Gelding | T: James Cummings | J: Damian Lane (60kg)
Best Value at Sandown: Loafer
The Archie Alexander-trained Loafer chased home a speedy one in Speir last time out at Ballarat on February 23, and based on the way he was finishing of her race, she will take some beating at an each-way price with horse racing betting sites. Drawn to gain a perfect run in transit behind what looks to be a hot speed, Jaylah Kennedy will have this daughter of Hellbent primed to strike in the final 100m, and barring any bad luck, she will be there when the whips are cracking.
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#3 Loafer (4)
3yo Filly | T: Archie Alexander | J: Jaylah Kennedy (a2) (60.5kg)
