Our Sandown Hillside Horse Racing Tips for Saturdays meeting.
Lightsaber (Sandown Hillside Race 1 No. 7):
This two year old colt trained by Peter Moody will have his second career start in the opener. He made his debut at Geelong on January 15 where he was only narrowly beaten in a high rating maiden. He was particularly strong over the last 200 metres of the race so the step up from 1150m to 1300m looks ideal here. With natural improvement he is the one to beat.

Future Force (Sandown Hillside Race 6 No. 16):
This three year old filly is having her second run back from a spell. She jumped out very impressively prior to her first up run at Geelong where she finished 0.3 of a length behind River Twain who is a progressive gelding. I thought that run was full of merit given she had to work outside his lead. I have her marked favourite here and think she is a great each way bet at the $6.

Safeeya (Sandown Hillside Race 3 No. 7):
Safeeya has come up as the early favourite in race three. She was able to break her maiden first up at Cranbourne in good style and then finished six lengths behind the impressive Ayrton at Caulfield on Boxing Day. At her latest run at Moonee Valley she was well fancied in the betting and whilst appeared slightly unlikely the winner of the race Yukon was safely holding her on the line. This is a competitive benchmark 70 so happy to oppose her at current odds.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments 8 race card on a good 4 track. The best bet is in the first and looks placed to win off the back of a sound return off a long break. Best Bet Media World (Kembla Grange Race 1 No. 3) This 2yo Colt was sound first up without much luck and looks set for better races than this. Can get the dream run from barrier 1 and break maiden in what is a handy field. Check odds on SmartB
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 3 metres and the track is heavy. Just 6 races on the small card and the best bet is in the first. Best Bet Grand Horizon (Taree Race 1 No. 3) Gets barrier 1 and this 4yo Mare boasts 2 placings on the track and looks nicely placed against this bunch. Set to peak and looks primed to get another win and should do no work from the draw. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB
Horse Racing Tips: ACT Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000-380m mark and true for the remainder. Racing on a soft 5 track. The best bet is early on in the day. Best Bet Greaves (Canberra Race 2 No. 1) Capable of a big finish when on song. The map here looks good from barrier 4 and Owen has options. This race suits and last start rates well enough to take this out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet comes up in the first race at a short price and is a good multi banker. Best Bet Snippety Star (Orange Race 1 No. 10) All runs to date have been solid and Snippety Star won't get a better chance to win than this. Latham does the riding and the depth here is thin. This race suits and is a good multi banker for the weekend. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
