Our Sandown Hillside Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Blue Ocean (Sandown Hillside Race 4 No. 3):
Blue Ocean has had two runs back from a spell – working to the line solidly first up at Pakenham and then improving off that run to finish third to Flandersrain here last start. He exploded third up last time in to win at Werribee and is well set up to do similar again. He should get a lovely run from barrier six and looks the one to beat in race four on the card.

Kermalaw (Sandown Hillside Race 1 No. 8):
Liked this geldings effort on debut at Moonee Valley back in October. He found himself a long way back and with plenty to do on the turn but closed strongly to be beaten less than two lengths – running the equal fastest last 200m of the race. All four horses that finished in front of him are subsequent winners. He resumes here having had three jump outs and gets blinkers for the first time, which indicates he is ready to go first up.

Alburq (Sandown Hillside Race 6 No. 4):
Michael Moroney’s gelding Alburq has come up as a clear favourite in race five. He is never far away although really struggles to get his nose down when it counts. He has started single figure odds at his last five outings despite having won just one race from his twenty starts. Happy to keep risking him at the short quote.

Key Comments Very keen on the chances of the best bet who should relish getting off heavy ground and looks well placed racing back on its home track.

Key Comments The feature is the $50,000 Metric Mile over 1600m (race 7). The track is sand and is rated good and the weather is fine. Best Bet Miss Polly (Darwin Race 1 No. 6) She came from the outside barrier to be runner-up on debut over 1200m here. Emma Lines rides again and has a 1.5 kg claim, and this time she has draw the rails. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
