Wednesday Racing Tips - Sandown Racecourse 18/09/2024

For my Wednesday racing tips at Sandown, I've got a best bet of the day that can't miss, as well as some roughies to watch out for.

(Note: Odds provided by Playup)

Selections:
#12 Treasurethe Moment - $3.30
#8 Happy Link - $5.50
#2 Walk Of Fame - $8.50
#4 Pardon My French - $9.00

BEST BET - #12 - Treasurethe Moment - (BEST BET)
Just finished behind the places in it's last start, finishing 4th out of 10 on August 26. So I think it can improve after that run and should be fitter here. Looked good first-up and should be even fitter now.

THE DANGER - #8 - Happy Link
In its last race at Geelong on September 1, it came out on top with a winning margin of 2.0 lengths. It was carrying 57.5kg and held off Didn't Miss Many (57kg), which was pretty good to watch at $1.40 odds. So, it's looking in good touch for this race. In winning form, don't look past it.

VALUE BET  - #2 - Walk Of Fame
In good form and has strong claims to win on Wednesday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a BM70 at Sandown-Hillside over 1300m. In good form at the moment, so hopefully that continues.

Selections:
#15 Sunset Dreaming - $2.80
#12 Step Aside - $5.50
#16 Valois - $9.00
#17 Eye Of The Eagle - $8.00

BEST BET - #15 - Sunset Dreaming - (NEXT BEST)
Last race at Sandown-Hillside, Sunset Dreaming was right up there in the finish, just placing second. He showed some speed and battled on fairly well. In this race, I think it's got another suitable draw, which should make it tough to beat. In its last start, Sunset Dreaming (59.5kg) and ended up placing 2nd, just behind Eye Of The Eagle (58.5kg) over 1300m and was right up there. That should be a good form guide for this race and I think it could easily get the win this time.

THE DANGER - #12 - Step Aside - Name
Coming off a solid effort at Caulfield, running 4th and just outside the placings. But I think it can likely improve in this race. Should enjoy running first-up as has been the case in it's career.

VALUE BET  - #16 - Valois - Name
Last start, finished 3rd of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside in a BM70 over 1200m, just 2.6 lengths behind Kahhof (59kg) carrying 61kg at $3.70. Rates a terrific each-way play, I think.

Selections:
#14 Half Yours - $2.80
#6 Morryl Moral - $6.00
#9 Nishino Crescent - $12.00
#11 The Englishman - $6.00

BEST BET - #14 - Half Yours
I like the look of Half Yours in Race 8 at Sandown on Wednesday. Previously won at Cranbourne over 1600m, carrying 59kg. That was a really good win, so I think Half Yours should be tough to beat on Wednesday too. I think its a real genuine best bet chance.

THE DANGER - #6 - Morryl Moral
Todd Pannell was on board last run and won over 1800m at Morphettville. So I think that's a good form guide for Wednesday's race and should be tough to beat down the straight. In winning form, should be dangerous if it gets a good run.

VALUE BET - #9 - Nishino Crescent
I like the form of Nishino Crescent for Race 8 at Sandown on Wednesday for a potential upset. Won at Geelong over 1733m on September 1. In good winning form at the moment, so don’t look past it for some value.

Damian Lane could have a huge day on Wednesday with a total of 5 runners at Sandown.

R1 - Ilovethistown - $10
R2 - Pammukale - $61
R3 - Prevailed - $7.5
R6 - Walk Of Fame - $8.5
R7 - Sunset Dreaming - $2.8

On a day filled with fierce competition and horses that are pumped for the races, it's wise to approach multi betting with caution. I've leaned towards horses with favourable barriers, decent weights and in-form jockeys. These factors can often make a real difference in such tightly contested races. Check out my multi of the day below for an exciting bet to follow throughout race day!

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 Unibet 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 Wednesday's racing I wouldn’t look past Unibet, often they offer odds boosts in addition to the money back promotions. Don’t forget to check your account as well for personal offers. 

Promotions often change so make sure you sign up at unibet.com.au to see what promotions are applicable to you and you may even be surprised to find some promotions that weren’t mentioned here!
