Sandown Lakeside tips and results

Our price $3.80 · SP $7.50 · Luke Currie

While unproven at the distance, his early speed should allow him to secure a good position from barrier 5. His win two starts back shows his ability, and the likely moderate-fast tempo should suit his running style. Luke Currie stays aboard which is a positive.

Our price $7.50 · SP $14.00 · Craig Williams

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.15 · Craig Williams

Thanks Gorgeous brings the strongest form credentials, having placed in 4 of 6 starts including at Group 3 level. The expected fast tempo suits her midfield running style, and she drops significantly in class from recent Group racing. Craig Williams booking is a major positive.

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.50 · Lachlan Neindorf

Yellowjacket showed promise on debut just 12 days ago, finishing a close second at Pakenham. The Philip Stokes-trained filly retains Lachlan Neindorf and should derive natural improvement second-up. Her breeding suggests quality, and while barrier 11 isn't ideal at Lakeside, her recent racing experience gives her an edge over many unraced rivals.

Our price $7.00 · SP $14.00 · Jamie Mott

The Freedman-trained filly has been given plenty of time between runs (161 days) but showed ability to perform fresh in her only start.

Our price $3.80 · SP $4.20 · Michael Dee

Algorithmic brings the strongest form credentials, dropping from Group 2 company where he was competitive. The wide barrier is offset by the predicted fast tempo, which should allow him to find a position and finish strongly.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.00 · Daniel Stackhouse

The Hayes-trained filly gets a significant weight advantage, draws perfectly in barrier 3, and should be able to take up a forward position. The step up to 1200m looks suitable, and she appears to have more upside than most in this field.

Our price $10.00 · SP $21.00 · Rhys Mc Leod

The inside barrier gives him options in a race with a predicted fast tempo. His form is trending in the right direction, and he appears to have more improvement to come at just his third start.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · Luke Nolen

Winsome Star presents as a genuine place chance second-up from a spell. His record when second-up (3 starts for 2 placings and 1 third) suggests he'll improve sharply off his last run. The significant class drop from BM70 to BM66 is a major positive, while barrier 2 gives him every chance to secure an ideal position in the run. Luke Nolen's booking is another plus.

Our price $8.00 · SP $13.00 · Luke Currie

His consistent recent form (2-3-3 in last three starts) suggests he's racing in career-best form. While his backmarker racing pattern is a concern at Sandown-Lakeside, the predicted very fast tempo should set things up perfectly for his finishing burst.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Jamie Mott

Winston brings excellent recent form, winning last start over 2000m at Kilmore. He's dropping in class here and has shown consistent improvement throughout this preparation. The wide barrier is a concern, but Jamie Mott should be able to find cover midfield. The McArdle stable has him in peak condition.

Our price $12.00 · SP $31.00 · Jake Duffy

His consistency (13:2-2-4) is solid, and he's well-drawn in barrier 3. The addition of blinkers for the first time could provide the improvement needed to be competitive at this level.

Our price $8.00 · SP $10.00 · Ryan Houston

Onlygoldwilldo represents excellent value as a second-up performer who ran a strong 3rd last start. His record at the mile (4:1-0-1) is solid, and he's well-weighted with 56.5kg. While facing a class rise, his improving profile suggests he can measure up, and his good track record (12:2-1-2) suits today's conditions.

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · Luke Currie

Chewing Gum brings excellent consistency with 3 consecutive placings and has drawn the perfect barrier 1 at Sandown-Lakeside where inside gates are crucial. While she's only won once from 11 starts, her place strike rate of 45% shows she's rarely far away.

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.50 · Logan Bates

Her overall place strike rate of 47% demonstrates her consistency, and her last start second at Caulfield suggests she's in good form.

Our price $9.00 · SP $12.00 · Jye McNeil

She's second-up today where she has a solid record of 1 placing and 2 thirds from 4 attempts. While her win strike rate is low, she's been competing in much stronger races and gets the services of top jockey Jye McNeil. The neutral barrier 8 should allow her to find a good position.

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.50 · Ryan Houston

PORTER brings strong credentials with a previous win at this track and distance. The inside barrier is perfect for Sandown-Lakeside where positioning is crucial. While he carries top weight, he's proven he can handle it at this level. Ryan Houston knows the horse well and should give him every chance from the inside gate.

Our price $7.00 · SP $13.00 · Logan Bates

ZOURAIN comes into this race off a last-start win at Pakenham over this distance. He has a strong record at 1400m with 2 wins and 2 thirds from 6 attempts, and has previously placed at Sandown-Lakeside. While barrier 10 isn't ideal, the 1400m start at Sandown-Lakeside offers more time to find a position.
