Here is the predicted track pattern and Best Bet for Saturday's meeting at Sandown Hillside.
TRACK
Good 4
TRACKWALKER
Lanes 1,2,3 not as good as 4,5,6 and there are some golden lanes a bit further out. Backmarkers should get their chance with right race shape
WHEN IN DOUBT GO BLUE
James Cummings’ stock relish Sandown Hillside with his team striking at 25% over the past year and if you’d back each of them you’d be up around 50% on your investment

BARRIERS
1100m or less – Chute start with small dogleg into home straight. Wide barriers little issue
NIC ASHMAN TIP 1.45PM
Race 3 No.1 BARBER [PLACE] into
Race 4 No.1 CHARM STONE [PLACE]
DOUBLE $2.50 [now $2.10]
“Barber has the best figures in the boys division following his two victories in Sydney last year. He has to handle the Melbourne way of going under race conditions. Charm Stone looks like she’s come back lengths better and already had close to the best figures for the fillies. The problem is the development 2YOs can make over the Xmas break is sometimes huge and there's a chance one or both of these get knocked off by a rival that's improved a stack. Add to that some first starters and we think the best option is to take the place double. We've rated the double $1.96"
