Sandown Park tips, suggested bets & race comments April 16, 2015

TWELVE races will be run and won at Sandown Park tonight with the feature race undoubtedly being the eighth event which will see an exhilarating clash between Fernando Bale and Dyna Double One.

Both chasers are trained by Andrea Dailly and are owned by the Wheeler family, with Fernando Bale the recent winner of the Group 1 Golden Easter Egg at Wentworth Park, while Dyna Double One scored a tremendous 29.43 win at The Meadows last Saturday night.

Before that race, there is still plenty of value to be found on this quality card. Australian Racing Greyhound‘s expert form analyst Brad Bugeja has previewed the entire meeting to bring you some fantastic bets to help fill you betting accounts.

Brown Bomber finally gained some luck in running at The Meadows on Saturday night and he took advantage by scoring in a very handy 30.20. On that occasion he was good to begin and he then showed a great turn of foot. With a slow beginner on his outside tonight he should get every chance to show a similar amount of speed and that would be enough for him to lead all the way.

Sweet Barbados has come up with the good draw and she should run a cheeky race. She has been placed in two of her past three over this journey and in those two efforts she has led and recorded very impressive sectionals.

Select Seaspray is the interesting runner, he is in good hands and he comes here having won his only two starts at Healesville in good style. This is a big step up in class for him but it might be worth watching for any betting moves.

Chancy Be Smooth is a big chance also, he turned in a great effort when placed here last week and he should be suited in this company.

Top Four: 5 – 1 – 7 – 3

Cosmic Wise clearly has the class edge and she loves racing over this track and trip. She hasn't had a lot of luck in recent weeks but tonight she is drawn closer to the rail and if she can step on terms she should have sufficient speed to drive through early. This race lacks a lot of depth so if you can land even money or a tad better with William Hill that appears to be good value.

Sisco Fiasco has been racing well without winning of late and she should give a good sight again. She is armed with very good early speed and she has the speed to cross the favourite or at worst settle just outside the favourite.

Julie Bale has won her only try over this track and trip in a handy 34.39 and if she can settle in the first half of the field she should be a factor. The only concern with her is that she can be a little hit or miss at box rise.

Gorham Bale will be well supported after scoring at The Meadows on Saturday night, however this is a much tougher ask from tonight's draw so I'm willing to risk him.

A small mention must go to Shanlyn Patch also, he is well drawn out there and he can run a cheeky race.

Top Four: 2 – 3 – 5 – 8

Bruce Tycoon is ultra consistent and he deserves another win. In recent weeks he has taken on the likes of Kayda Shae, Usain I'm Nutty and Fever Pitch and in those races he has made those classy chasers work hard for victory. From the red tonight he should be able to lead as this race doesn't feature a lot of early toe and if he happens to find the lure he should be able to break away mid race. He is likely to be fairly short with William Hill but this really does look to be his race.

Waymore Blues is a class act and he is always a chance in these types of events. His recent form doesn't look too flashy but in early February he did qualify for the Launceston Cup Final with a dazzling 29.55 heat win. The draw doesn't help but there is no speed around him and with a clean getaway he should be able to put some pressure on the red.

Chasin Mikado has his draw and he is racing in career best form at present, I don't think he can win tonight but from out here he is a definite top three prospect.

Maintenance Man rounds out the chances, he has the speed to lead but the last 40-metres is the problem as he isn't overly strong.

Top Four: 1 – 5 – 8 – 7

Why Not Wayne is aiming for a hat trick of wins and if he can repeat his sectionals from last week's heat win I can't see how they can beat him. He isn't the strongest of chasers but he has explosive early speed and I'm expecting him to set up a mammoth lead mid race. This race doesn't have any real star stayers engaged so if he finds the lure early he should be able to hang on.

Feikuai Polly is probably the most genuine stayer in the event and if she is switched on she is a massive chance of scoring, however she can do a lot wrong in her races. She has raced well from wide draws in recent weeks, so if she can settle in the first half of the field she should make an impact.

Texan Star should settle on the hammer of Why Not Wayne early and he should give a nice sight. He made his staying debut last week and he should be improved by the run.

Express Lane is the interesting runner, she has scored some top 595-metre wins here and she was far from disgraced when placed in her heat. She could be worth an each way ticket with William Hill if she goes around at big odds.

Top Four: 2 – 8 – 4 – 3

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Why Not Wayne and Express Lane

Opec Bale was back to his brilliant best at The Meadows last week and if he can turn in a similar performance tonight he should prove too strong for his rivals. After settling back in the field, he unleashed a brilliant sprint mid race to put himself into contention before racing away in the home straight. From the wide draw tonight he should settle in the first half and he really does look too good for these.

Nicki Fields is much better than her form indicates and she should settle in the top two early. She has won here previously in a handy 42.14 and if she can reproduce that type of effort she should finish in the top three.

Deadly Boy can be a bit of a money muncher but there is no doubting his talent. I'm expecting him to lead tonight and if he doesn't get pressured mid race he might be able to pinch the event. The only concern with him though is that he can tend to switch off in his races.

Rain Steam and Know Danger both must be included in your exotic bets, both have the ability to run home strongly and pinch some minor money.

Top Four: 7 – 2 – 4 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Opec Bale with William Hill

Quinella: 7 to rove with 1,2,4 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,7/1,2,4,7 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 7/1,2,4/Field ($18 for 100%)

Kayda Shae is an enormous talent and he has probably one of the best middle sections of any chaser in training at present. Last week he went through the first marker in a solid 5.11 but he quickly went up a gear and reeled off an eye popping 18.63 before scoring in 29.30. He should get some cover from the five in the run to the first turn and if he finds the top he should put them away mid race.

Midnight Ride is the real deal and he overcame some difficulties in running when posting a solid 29.71 heat win, the time wasn't flashy but the manner in which he hit the line was ultra impressive.

Fuelish won his heat at The Meadows in 30.21 and he must be respected. He was a little disappointing on the clock last time but he is capable of going very fast when on the lure. If he holds out Kayda Shae early, he becomes a serious winning hope.

What's Chewing is the interesting runner, he destroyed the clock when posting 29.79 at The Meadows in his heat and a repeat of that would see him be a major player, however he can be very unreliable early so he can't afford to make any mistakes tonight.

Top Four: 4 – 5 – 3 – 6

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Kayda Shae with William Hill

Boxed Quinella: 3,4,5 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 3,4,5/3,4,5,6 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4/3,5,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

Dyna Nico is a lid pinger and she is absolutely flying at present. From the two draw she should be able to drive through to the early lead and I'm expecting her to dash away mid race. Her last 50-metres isn't the strongest but she appears to be hitting the line a lot better these days and she is probably capable of getting down to the 29.40 mark here and that should be good enough to score.

Quarrel Bale has always showed enormous talent but he always seems to find bother, however in recent weeks he has put it altogether and he has now posted three impressive wins on the trot. He will settle back in the field but he is extremely strong and if the gaps open mid race he might be able to reel the leader in.

Kerrigan Bale is much better than her recent form suggests and she is capable of pinging the lids, she should get a nice cart across from the five early and I'm expecting her to turn in a big performance.

Top Four: 2 – 3 – 6 – 5

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Dyna Nico with William Hill

Quinella: 2 to rove with 3,5,6 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 2,3/2,3,5,6 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 2/3,5,6/Field ($18 for 100%)

Awesome race and it would be great to see Dyna Double One and Fernando Bale both step cleanly as it will make for a great match race. I'm going with Fernando Bale, he is a faultless beginner and he is absolutely flying at present. He was beaten in his only try here but that was early in his career and he is a much better chaser this time round. It will be interesting to see what he puts on the clock if he gains a clear passage.

Dyna Double One is probably the more talented overall of the two chasers but he isn't as reliable early. Last week at The Meadows he came out well and went into overdrive mid race before winning in a near record 29.43. Fingers crossed he can get away cleanly and he can then put some heat on Fernando Bale mid race.

Sisco Rage is rarely runs a bad race and he is suited to the inside draw. I think he will find the other two tough to beat but he should be able to sneak into the trifecta spot.

Weblec Belle is well drawn out wide and she rounds out the chances, she has a top record here and she can run time with a clear run.

Top Four: 6 – 4 – 2 – 7

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Fernando Bale with William Hill

Quinella: 6 to rove with 2,4,7 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 4,6/2,4,6,7 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 6/2,4,7/Field ($18 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4,6/4,6/2,7,8 ($6 for 100%)

Shazzle's Boy is a classy provincial speedster and he is making the step up to the 500-metres for the first time. He has hit the line quite well in his short course efforts and I think he might be able to pinch this event. This race isn't overly strong so if he is ever going to win in town this could be the race.

Blue Giant is dropping in class and he will be powering to the line. From the red draw he should be able to settle a little closer to the speed than normal and if he is within striking distance mid race he might prove too strong.

Money Come Back has a great record here and he will be very strong in the run to the line. I'm a little concerned about the draw but he is too good to dismiss.

Cruiser's Sol rounds out the chances, he has been flying at Cranbourne in recent weeks and he is suited to the rails draw.

Top Four: 3 – 1 – 7 – 2

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Shazzle's Boy

Exacta: 1,3/1,2,3,7 ($6 for 100%)

Quinella: 3 to rove with 1,2,7 ($3 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,3,7/1,2,3,7 /1,2,3,5,6,7 ($36 for 100%)

Yadi is an exciting talent and he is aiming for a hat trick of wins over this track and trip. He isn't the greatest beginner but he does muster quite well and there isn't a heap of speed drawn underneath tonight. He has a slick 29.47 PB here but with a clear run I think he is capable of going a tad quicker and that should see him win with ease.

Humming Birdhill returned to form with a sizzling 29.41 win here two runs back and she appears to be beginning a lot better. If she can step cleanly again tonight she should put herself into contention at the first turn and she will get to the line strongly.

Beyond Rapid has won seven of 11 to date with two of those wins being here, from the red draw he should show good early speed and he will be in contention for the entire journey.

Scintillating has a great turn of foot and he rounds out the chances, he isn't racing at his best but he is dropping in class and he should run a big race.

Top Four: 4 – 5 – 1 – 8

Suggested Bets:

Quinella: 4 to rove with 1,5,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 1,4,5/1,4,5,8 ($9 for 100%)

Trifecta: 1,4,5/1,4,5,8/1,4,5,6,7,8 ($36 for 100%)

Midnight Flynn is perfectly placed in the pink draw tonight and he should prove far too classy for his rivals. He has been taking on FFA company of late and five starts back he reeled off brilliant sectionals when posting a blistering 29.72 win at The Meadows. With a clear run he should go around the 29.30 mark here and that will see him win with ease.

Maximus Glider is the run on type in the event and he has a great record here, he will need some luck in the early stages but he has great track sense and a top three finish is on the cards.

Wayfarer is capable of showing smart early speed and she is drawn to lead for a long way, the last 40-metres is a worry but she should be able to hang on for a place.

Perfect Madison is racing well at present and she rounds out the chances, she isn't good enough to win but she is a must for the exotics.

Top Four: 8 – 5 – 1 – 3

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Midnight Flynn with William Hill

Trifecta: 8/1,3,5/Field ($18 for 100%)

Exacta: 5,8/1,3,5,8 ($6 for 100%)

Quinella: 8 to rove with 1,3,5 ($3 for 100%)

Boxhead is a very reliable beginner and he should turn in a bold front running display. Two starts back he reeled off great sectionals when posting an impressive 29.45 win here and a repeat performance will see him win again.

One Dee should follow him across in the early stages and she has been racing in consistent style, I dont think she can cross him early so the quinella spot looks best for her.

Morningside is never far away in her races and she turned in a strong effort when placed here last week, she lacks early speed but she will hit the line nicely.

My Zephyr has won two of her past three and she must be included in your exotic bets, this is a rise in class but she really is racing in great form.

Top Four: 4 – 5 – 8 – 1

Suggested Bets:

Win bet on Boxhead

Quinella: 4 to rove with 1,5,8 ($3 for 100%)

Exacta: 4,5/1,4,5,8 ($6 for 100%)

Trifecta: 4/1,5,8/Field ($18 for 100%)
