Sandown Tips February 5


Thoroughbred Club Of Australia Handicap Tips (Race 4)


Sandown Value Bet - Race 4 No. 4 Arezzo

He didn't do himself any favours on debut last month, where Arezzo proved difficult to load at Geelong and the gelding proceeded to race greenly in that first race day appearance.

The three-year-old recorded a stylish one-length victory in that January 15 tilt despite doing a lot wrong in the home straight and there should be a lot of natural improvement to come.

This is a strong midweek BM64, although Arezzo stays against his own age group at start two and he did complete a quiet Flemington jump-out on January 24 (ear muffs were applied for that workout).

Sandown Next Best Bet - Race 5 No. 5 Grid Girl

The mare defeated Both Sides Now (subsequent city winner) on Australian debut at Sandown and she was able to bounce back at BM64 level after placing as a beaten fav via a metro affair second-up.

While the Hayes-trained mare appeared sharp in two jump-out wins ahead of her most recent fresh assignment, 1200m and a wide barrier worked against her in that Cranbourne attempt.

A late betting drift also suggested that Grid Girl would need her first-up showing, but it was a solid return (second-fastest last 200m of the card), while 1400m and gate three are two big positives here.

Tile Importer Handicap Tips (Race 6)


Sandown Best Bet - Race 6 No. 4 Tarvue

Being only third-up on Wednesday and with the four-year-old set for just her eighth start overall in her third campaign, there's still plenty of upside with this John Sadler-trained galloper.

This is her first try at 2000m+ and on breeding, the extra trip should be favourable, as she's by Tarzino and out of Vamoose, a Japanese mare who is a half-sister to Admire Rakti (2014 Caulfield Cup winner).

Tarvue improved second-up when saluting over 1600m and with the two other on-speed performers beaten out of sight in that Pakenham event, there was plenty of merit to the last start win.

Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap Tips (Race 8)


Sandown Roughie - Race 8 No. 1 Charisse

Six furlongs might be on the short side for Charisse, however, class can take the daughter of Churchill a long way at midweek level, where she resumes in a BM70 against her own sex.

The Gerard Moloney-trained galloper has won her last two first-up attempts, with the latest coming in this grade on the Hillside circuit last winter when recording a 1.5-length victory over 1300m.

She had excuses following that when second-up in a Saturday BM78 and Charisse won in that company fourth-up when beating Lievore, who won the Pinker Plate at her next start before a narrow Group 2 loss.
