Sandown Preview - Wednesday, 4th February

We’re off and racing at Sandown again on Wednesday with another quality eight-race meeting set. A fine day in Melbourne has the track rated a Good 4 with the rail out 6m, setting up perfect conditions for a few short-priced favourites to ply their trade with eyes on potentially bigger races over the autumn. Our best bet comes up late on the program with an in-form mare for Archie Alexander going around, while we’ve also got some early each-way value to pick from. For our thoughts on all eight races, check out our Sandown Preview down below. Race 1 – Sportsbet Jockey Watch Plate (1600 METRES) No. 8 Mr…

Eagle Farm Preview – Wednesday 4th February

3 Feb • Craig Sheppard

Eagle Farm hosts Wednesday’s midweek program, the third metropolitan meeting in the past week at the track and on the quick back-up from Saturday. With the rail out 10m, on-pace runners may hold a slight advantage, although the long straight should still give most horses their opportunity if the tempo is genuine. I’ve laid out my Eagle Farm best bets below for you to play it out on Wednesday. Race 1 – QTIS Two-Years-Old Maiden Plate (1000 METRES) No. 12 Cherry Bombshell CHERRY BOMBSHELL (12) needs two horses to be scratched to gain entry into this race, but if she does then she looks awfully hard…

Caulfield: Race 7 (3:45pm AEDT) No. 3 Damask Rose She was nothing short of outstanding in her native New Zealand last summer and autumn, winning races like the Karaka Millions 3YO and The Kiwi, but it’s fair to say that DAMASK ROSE didn’t show her best form in four starts during the Melbourne Spring Carnival. That said, she’s trialled well, she boasts a class edge over most of these mares, and she has options in the run this week from the rails…
