LADBROKES PARK Sandown Lakeside August 16
The track was rated a good 3 Tuesday with rain forecast for race day but suggests only about 3mm along with gusty winds so given that tip track will race ‘firm”.
Overview: There is some spring bound horses here at this mid-week, Esperance (race 1) and Nacar (race 2) primarily and that is the norm this time of year Melbourne metropolitan Wednesdays.
Best Bet: Race 2#3 NACAR Darren Weir trained import who gets in off a BM70 despite Group from Germany and most impressive Australian debut suggesting would find himself in some fringe middle distance carnival races without too much trouble. OK was a heavy 10 at The Bool and on the firm surface here if looking for any reservation. Narrow black figures since markets opened and that’s more than reasonable given the opinion of him.
Best Value: Race 4 #4 MAHLANI Resumed for Andrew Noblet with strong win Echuca after not the best of runs. Sure #2 Angelic Spirit was good on debut Sale but had a good run and the price discrepancy here is attractive to the value pick.
