Wednesday will see plenty of quality thoroughbred racing across the country with our focus being on the meeting at Sandown in Victoria. Take a look at our horse racing tips and best bets for Wednesday 1st July, 2020.
Sandown – Race 2 1:00PM AEST
No. 1 Flinders River – Bet Now: $10.00
Flinders River is well and truly over the odds at his current quote of $11.
He only recorded the one race win during his maiden racing campaign, but he clearly has some ability and he has form around the likes of Blue Diamond Stakes winner Tagaloa and Holyfield.
Barrier three is ideal and he maps to get a lovely run in transit with John Allen in the saddle.
Sandown – Race 4 2:10PM AEST
BEST BET: No. 4 Grand De Flora – Bet Now: $2.15
Grand De Flora has recorded three wins from six race starts and she is a filly with plenty of ability.
She could hardly have been more impressive when she won at Ladbrokes Park last start and she ran some of the fastest closing sectionals of the day.
This race really isn’t that much tougher and she can make it two wins on the trot.
Sandown – Race 7 3:55PM AEST
No. 8 Shepard – Bet Now: $3.40
Shepard failed to fire at Flemington last start, but he is a much better horse than that effort suggests.
His victory before that at Ballarat was very impressive and this drop in class does suit him.
He can ride forward from the wide barrier and it would not surprise to see Luke Nolen turn this contest into a genuine staying battle.
Sandown – Race 8 4:30PM AEST
No. 1 Shahzade – Bet Now: $3.10
Shahzade has been a touch unlucky in her past two race starts and could easily be heading into this contest on the back of four straight victories.
She ran the fastest closing sectionals of the day when she finished second behind Whiskey Shooter at Ladbrokes Park last start and this race isn’t much tougher.
Lachlan Neindorf will be able to settle her closer to the speed from barrier seven and she will have every possible chance to return to winning form.
