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.

Each Way
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.

Best Lay
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.
