Our Sandown Hillside Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday meeting.
Heir To The Throne (Sandown Hillside Race 3 No. 3):
Heir To The Throne has been racing in super form since joining the Andrea Leek stable earlier this year. He did a great job to win at Sale two starts ago, and then was strong late when stepping sharply in distance at Moonee Valley last start. Comes back to Wednesday grade here and gets Jamie Kah in the saddle for the first time. Hard to beat.

Each Way
Mosscon (Sandown Hillside Race 8 No. 3):
Five year old mare who has gone to a new level this preparation. She won a strong benchmark 64 first up at Warrnambool, then sat three wide on a hot speed at Cranbourne and kept fighting to score by .8 of a length. She should be able to settle in the first four again here and be in this for a long way.

Best Lay
Festivus (Sandown Hillside Race 1 No. 3:
Festivus has come up the early favourite in the opening race on the card. He broke his maiden narrowly on his home track at Ballarat last start and whilst he is lightly raced and still open to plenty of improvement looks under the odds stepping up in grade here.
