Sandown Tips June 18


Stow Storage Solutions Handicap (Race 2)


Sandown Best Bet - Race 2 No. 7 Knobelas

While she didn't salute as fav, it was still an eye-catching debut from Knobelas, who recorded the fastest last 200m of the May 8 card from Pakenham.

The three-year-old atoned with a soft victory at start two, where she relished the rise to 1600m and the filly also jumped cleaner in that latest attempt.

This is harder, however, she's against her own age and sex, while the second market elect (Colour Our World) was disappointing at Swan Hill last start.

Sportsbet Green Tick Handicap Tips (Race 3)


Sandown Roughie - Race 3 No. 10 Heinous

She saluted off a similar pattern third-up last campaign (1200m back to 1000m) and Heinous was competitive at stakes level following that win.

While she wasn't disgraced last time, the daughter of Brutal was a touch flat second-up off a solid fresh performance, where she was runner-up behind Salsa Fellow.

Salsa Fellow franked that form at Flemington on June 7, where he beat a smart Soft Love and Heinous will only strip fitter now third-up off a long break.

Sportsbet Feed Handicap Tips (Race 5)


Sandown Value Bet - Race 5 No. 2 Ambassadorial

Although he's a month between runs, it's logical move at this stage of the prep for Ambassadorial, as he's dropping in trip after a testing 1800m at Flemington.

Nine furlongs on a Heavy 8 pulled him up late, however, it was another honest showing from the gelding, who has been thereabouts in all four runs for Alex Rae.

After solid efforts in BM78-BM84 company, he should find this midweek BM70 an easier task, while he carried this impost via his last metro victory.

Sportsbet Get On Extra Handicap Tips (Race 9)


Sandown Next Best Bet - Race 9 No. 13 The Western Front

A late betting drift suggested that The Western Front would need the run first-up and son of War Decree was doing his best work late in that fresh tilt.

He was working home against the race and track pattern of that June 14 event, while the drop in weight and rise in distance are both positives on Wednesday.

The Western Front showed ability in his first prep, where he improved with racing despite looking quite raw and the Hayes-trained galloper has upside.
