Our Sandown Hillside Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting
Chequerboard (Sandown Hillside Race 5 No. 1)
Good return at Bendigo when finishing third behind Hindaam and Anitra. Then began awkwardly last start when finishing midfield in the Listed Twilight Glow Stakes. Comes along way back in grade here and with a cleaner jump Mathew Cartwright can control this from the front.

Clap (Sandown Hillside Race 2 No. 1):
The Robert Hickmott trained galloper was heavily backed on debut. He traveled into the race strongly before losing the compass a little around the home turn. Once he balanced up in the home running he lengthened very nicely. The step up in trip to the 1300m will suit and he looks over the odds at $17.

Best Lay
Tycoon Bella (Sandown Hillside Race 4 No. 5):
The resuming Tycoon Bella showed good talent early in her career but has struggled in more recent times, missing the top 3 at her last 4 starts. Furthermore there are a few things working against her here. 1000m is short of her best distance and Michael Walker has a wide barrier to negate. She has had two recent Cranbourne jump outs, they were just fair. This is a strong benchmark 64 and we are happy to oppose her at the current odds given these queries.

Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Are You Joking (Newcastle Race 6 No. 5) Unlucky last start when held up

Key Comments There are 6 races on a Good track. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start. The extra distance should suit and he rates highly. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Jukebox Lucy (Barcaldine Race 1 No. 6) Jukebox Lucy has been runner-up
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races and the track is rated soft. The rail is +2.5 metres from he 600m to 275m and true for the remainder. Cutaway applies. Best Bet Merchant Flyer (Beaudesert Race 1 No. 3) Merchant Flyer only just missed last start on a heavy track at Ipswich and drops to country level. Should be fitter for 2 starts and can break his maiden here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way

Key Comments The feature races are the Adelaide Guineas (race 6), Queen Elizabeth II Cup (race 7) and the South Australian Derby (race 8). The track is good and the rail is +2 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet The Map (Morphettville Race 7 No. 2) She’s has had a 7 week let-up after just missing in the Adelaide Cup and comes off a trial win at Balaklava. Going really well this campaign and
