Sandown takes centre stage in Victoria again on Wednesday, with a packed program of eight races set to deliver a big day of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditions look ideal, with fine weather forecast and the track rated a Good 4. Punters should also note the rail is positioned out 12 metres around the entire circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a massive Saturday meeting at Caulfield just around the corner, Ryan Cook runs through all eight races in his Sandown Hillside Preview, including his Best Bets below.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Very open\u00a0race with\u00a0most facing the starter for the first time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Confidence is low with most, but BROOKELINDA (9)<\/strong> does\u00a0rate\u00a0a top chance based on what\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0produced when winning twice at the\u00a0the\u00a0trials.\u00a0She\u2019ll\u00a0likely be\u00a0speeding along early from the wide gate and looking to settle in\u00a0the front half.\u00a0Jamie Mott just needs her to switch off early to be a threat over the late stages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUFFOLK STAR (2)\u00a0<\/strong>looks\u00a0a genuine improver second-up over further.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul Preusker\u2019s talented six-year-old won over the 3000m trip at The Valley last year and was solid on return at Sandown last month, running on from the tail of the field to finish within two lengths of subsequent Adelaide Cup<\/a> third placegetter Hurry Curry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019ll\u00a0carrying\u00a02.5kg extra this time but should appreciate getting back on top of the ground with the gate affording him every chance.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

XARPO (2)<\/strong> is beginning to put it all together now for Simon Zahra and company.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The daughter to The Autumn Sun was an impressive winner first-up on the Heath track at Caulfield, finding the box seat early before putting her foot down to race away and score by more than a length.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019s run some good races over 1400m in the past and is expected to be up on the speed early again from barrier 6.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

CAVALRY SCOUT (4)<\/strong> ticks a few important boxes ahead of his first race since being gelded.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ciaron Maher\u2019s three-year-old has won two trials leading up to his return, while his debut effort last year at Sandown was solid without winning, finishing three lengths off with the form from that race holding up well since.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

John Allen takes the reins and has options for the wide gate, and I think we\u2019ll see them pressing forward early to make their own luck.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 7 Gold Coast Belle <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

GOLD COAST BELLE (7)<\/strong> should have a point to prove up to midweek level now.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The daughter to So You Think stormed the line to win her maiden by more than two lengths on return at Seymour last month, an impressive victory after offsetting the wide gate early to settle just off the speed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019s drawn a much softer barrier this time around and\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0worth noting Jordan Childs sticks. If she produces that same turn of foot,\u00a0she\u2019ll\u00a0be hard\u00a0to\u00a0beat.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 6 – Sportsbet More Places Handicap (1800 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 12 Savisanta <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Each Way<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

SAVISTANTA (12)<\/strong> is a good horse capable of bouncing back from a disappointing display\u00a0here\u00a0over the track and trip a few weeks ago.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The son to Savabeel had no real excuses after\u00a0getting forward nice and early to stalk the speed, simply\u00a0failing to quicken\u00a0when something was asked of him by Logan Bates, who\u00a0had no explanation post-race.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A previous\u00a02.5 length win fresh at Sale\u00a0suggests he can make amends though, while\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0worth mentioning he was also third in the Geelong Classic on his way to running sixth in the Victoria Derby\u00a0las\u00a0year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 12 Russian Duchess <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

RUSSIAN DUCHESS (12)<\/strong> is an improving three-year-old stepping up to\u00a01800m\u00a0for the first time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She was good\u00a0in defeat\u00a0three weeks earlier at Caulfield Heath, finding cover early and sticking on well for second, just proving no match over the late stages for\u00a0Zakouma.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hard fit now getting out to\u00a01800m\u00a0and drawn to get a nice cozy run in\u00a0transit,\u00a0she should take beating with almost no weight on her back.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

PULA (8)<\/strong> appeals third-up over the mile.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her form over this trip has been mixed, but she was\u00a0very strong\u00a0running on\u00a0late for second at Caulfield Heath over shorter three weeks ago, finishing 1.4 lengths after racing wide.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drawn a nice low gate this time and\u00a0benefiting\u00a0from another dry track,\u00a0she\u2019ll\u00a0be one of the toughest to hold out if Craig Williams can save her best for the late stages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
