Sandown Tips July 31

Stow Storage Solutions Handicap Tips (Race 3)

Sandown Best Bet - Race 3 No. 4 Written In Code

This Annabel Neasham-trained mare is well-bred, being by I Am Invincible and out of Written Dash (Group 3 winner) and the lightly raced four-year-old has shown ability.

We were with Written In Code second-up off a solid Mornington return and while she had to settle for fourth as a beaten fav, there was still merit to that July 10 performance.

She came from back and wide with 60kg in a race that produced two metro winners last Wednesday, while from barrier one this time around, she should get more favours.

Sandown Favourite - Race 4 No. 3 Orlabent

After a fresh romp, he bolted in again on July 13 despite finding some trouble and last winter, the gelding defeated a handy Shezanalister when completing a hat-trick in NSW.

The ex-Kris Lees galloper holds winning form when he finds it, with his prior three victories being a hat-trick last winter in NSW and the last of those wins was on a Heavy 9.

He was scratched from a harder race in Adelaide last Saturday and while other nominations for later in the week suggests they're trying to avoid wet tracks, this is a winnable race.

Evergreen Turf Handicap Tips (Race 5)

Sandown Next Best Bet - Race 5 No. 3 Quite The Lass

Her form on genuine wet ground was a query heading into this campaign, however, the daughter of Helmet has found the line strongly in both of her recent outings.

The last run came second-up on a Heavy 9 over 1400m on the Sandown Lakeside circuit, where she ran the best closing splits of the race when coming from the rear to grab third.

Connections opted against an 1800m race at Morphettville last Saturday, which was a softer option than this, however, 1400m to 1600m is a more logical progression third-up.

Sandown Value Bet - Race 6 No. 8 Diadamo

This Michael Kent-trained galloper was too bad to be true in his second career outing at Flemington, with the gelding arriving there off a stylish debut win on Heavy 8 ground.

It's worth noting that he's been backed in both starts, with Diadamo $13-$9 in his latest assignment, where he failed to blend in from midfield after settling three-wide with cover.

He's from a stable who can often turn one around from a poor run and a patient Michael Kent wouldn't push on eleven days later if this three-year-old wasn't ticking every box.
