Our Sandown Hillside Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Dirty Deeds (Sandown Hillside 5 No. 6)
This Dundeel gelding hasn’t finished worse than 4th in all seven of his career starts. He was held up 5 deep last at the turn and ran on strongly out wide for 2.25 lengths 2nd over 1400m at Bendigo on a heavy track on 9 August, then ran on strongly to edge clear over the last 50m for a 0.5 length win over 1600m at Bendigo on a heavy track on 21 August. Looks suited at this distance.

Diode (Sandown Hillside Race 8 No. 1):
This four-year-old gelding is in great form this preparation. He took over at the 350m, kicked clear and was strong through the line winning by 2.5 lengths over 1411m at Sale on a heavy track on 13 August, then led most of the way and shot away from the 300m to win by 3.25 lengths over 1400m at Sandown Hillside on 26 August. Is going for a hattrick and looks a good each-way bet.

Best Lay
Perfect World (Sandown Hillside Race 2 No. 4):
This Pride of Dubai filly is the early favourite in this three-year-old fillies BM 70 handicap over 1600m. She charged home out wide and just missed for 0.1 length 2nd in a 2YO maiden plate over 1300m at Bendigo on 29 July, then took over at the 300m but was headed at the 200m and fought hard to the line for a length 2nd in a 3YO fillies maiden plate over 1400m at Sandown Lakeside on 19 August. This race looks a little harder and she doesn’t look like the winner.
