The Sandown Lakeside races are scheduled to start at 1pm AEST.
Best Bet at Sandown: Butternut Princess
Butternut Princess clearly finds winning difficult, but she will not get a better chance to add a second career triumph than she does in this 1600m BM64. The four-year-old mare finished second in three of her last five, including her last two goes at the track and trip. Luke Cartwright sticks on board, and with his 3kg claim from barrier two, the Capitalist mare will get the perfect run in transit throughout.
Best Bet
Race 2 – #7 Butternut Princess (2)
4yo Mare | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Luke Cartwright (a3) (57.5kg)
Next Best at Sandown: Kiwi Harmony
Kiwi Harmony caught the eye on debut when savaging the line over 1200m at Cranbourne on August 1. The Ardrossan filly produced some great late splits from a rearward position, and despite finishing second, she looks poised to go one better. With the rail out 9m, the three-year-old should find fresh ground, and if she is within striking distance on the home turn, Kiwi Harmony should prove too hard to hold out.
Next Best
Race 1 – #10 Kiwi Harmony (11)
3yo Filly | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Zac Spain (56kg)
Best Value at Sandown: Porter
Porter brings arguably the best form into the final event on the Sandown card, yet horse racing bookmakers are happy to take a risk on a runner who is yet to place in four first-up runs. He chased home the smart duo of Is It Me and Rhinoceros last campaign and boasted wins over the likes of Rubamos and Liberami. If Ryan Houston can use barrier three and his 2kg claim to his advantage and take up the running from the outset, Porter can pinch this at a nice price.
Best Value
Race 8 – #1 Porter (3)
5yo Gelding | T: Danny O’Brien | J: Ryan Houston (a2) (59.5kg)
