Sunday Racing Tips - Sandown 02/06/24

The big races continue to come at Sandown, with some lengthy chases on the card on Sunday, as Autumn becomes Winter. All 8 races here present plenty of opportunities to all involved and this should be a bumper day of action for punters and horse racing betting apps to get on board with.

(Note: Odds provided by Playup) 

Top Selections:
1. Bell Ex One - (BEST BET) - $2.70
2. Count Zero - $3.90
5. Invigilator - $3.90
4. Crosshill - $5.00

BEST BET – Bell Ex One - $2.70

Steeplechase contests tend to hold no prisoners and Bell Ex One is one of the very best in the business when it comes to staying the trip. Irish horses tend to enjoy this type of contest and Bell Ex One looks to be one of the picks of the day. 

THE DANGER – Count Zero – $3.90

Exeperienced Kiwi horse Count Zero finds itself in a similar position and recent showings suggest it is ready to challenge at this level once more. Age is the key question marks but Count Zero is well respected by all  punters and betting sites.

VALUE BET – Crosshill - $5.00

The Irish contingent are out again in the form of Crosshill, another solid campaigner over longer distances. Steeplechase contests tend to throw up some interesting scenarios and Crosshill looks set to be in the hunt in the eyes of many punters and betting apps.

Selections:
2. Affluential - (NEXT BEST BET) - $2.70
3. Alakahan - $3.00
5. Pure Deal - $4.60
4. Freddy The Eagle - $6.50

BEST BET - Affluential - (NEXT BEST BET)
Another lengthy offering here at Sandown presents plenty of chances, something Affluential is hoping to make good of. With 4 wins from its last 4 starts, it knows how to get the job done and 3400m should be about right. 

THE DANGER – Alakahan – $3.00
The presence of the dangerous Alakahan is certainly one to take note of here at Sandown and it has balanced the books in the market with many punters and betting sites. Beating Affluential would be a real feather in the cap of the Irish flyer but it looks to be more than capable.

VALUE BET – Freddy The Eagle - $6.50

This race looks set to be all about the top two in the eyes of most punters and betting apps but value can be found across the rest of the field. Freddy The Eagle is an excellent horse, who looks to be a good price to be in the hunt here.

Selections:
4. Let'sbefrankbaby - $2.40
1. Amade - $4.40
3. Strawberry Rock - $5.00
8. Stern Idol - $9.50

BEST BET - Let'sbefrankbaby - $2.40
The biggest race on the card at Sandown on Sunday is the Sandown Cup, with some stellar names in the hunt. Over 3200m, this will be a tall order for a few and Let'sbefrankbaby looks to be the best of the bunch on paper.

THE DANGER – Amade – $4.40
Irish flyer Amade has endured a tough run of form lately but it remains a horse held in the highest of esteem by plenty of punters and betting sites. Whether it has it in the tank to get the job done here is a question mark but it certainly has the racing stock to challenge.

VALUE BET – Stern Idol - $9.50

The presence of Stern Idol in this field has raised a few eyebrows but Ciaron Maher obviously sees the distance as doable. This is a seriously good horse, who all punters and betting apps should be keeping a key eye on in the Sandown Cup.

Blake Shinn knows how to get the job done in contests such as this and he should relish his 4 chances to pick up a win here at Sandown.

Lady Di Di gives him an excellent chance of getting off to a flyer in the opener at $4.90 with Playup, whilst Gottabesavvy is a very impressive horse in race 3 and it looks to be decent value at $4.80 with Playup.

In the seventh race of the day, he saddles Gronkoski, another decent shot at $7.50, whilst he finishes a busy day on board Big Brew - a $10 shot to close (all odds with Playup).

Promotions are traditionally the primary way for punters to create an edge over the bookies, as they can save your cash when your runner fails to win, in the instance of Playup they often offer 2nd and 3rd money back in bonus bets for a selection of races on the midweek and provincial racing days. Coupled with their generous odds I have to put them as the top bookie promotion wise at the moment for Australian racing. 

If you are looking for the best promotions this week for Sunday's racing I wouldn’t look past Playup, often they offer odds boosts in addition to the money back promotions. Don’t forget to check your account as well for personal offers.
