Glenn Ingram’s Wednesday Sandown Preview

Posted on | Posted by Glenn Ingram

RACE 1

COMMIT looked a nice horse early in his 2YO season and clearly improved returning with a gutsy win first-up at Sale, sitting wide on-speed and exposed a long way out, he found plenty. The one to beat again. Like the jumpouts of 1st emergency CROWN OF FIRE on debut for Ciaron Maher, yet to be tested, smooth moving filly be no shock to see her come out and win for a stable running hot. CIVIC SQUARE also on debut showing a bit, he’s had many jumpouts and sure to be fit first time out. JUDAS TREE found the right maiden on Ballarat synthetic, needs to transfer to turf.

Selections: 1,11,6,3

Suggested Bets: COMMIT & CROWN OF FIRE

RACE 2

DE ASCOT was as brave as they come on debut at Geelong stepping out over 1425m, led the field up and steering a path to the better ground in the straight, beaten in a tight finish. He should take beating from the stablemate GOLD CHARIOT with strong exposed form beaten by the smart Redwood Lane at Seymour, he too can go forward, has drawn awkward out wide. NEXT TUESDAY is building to a win, takes on a deep maiden and looks a place chance at best. So too BELLABAMA going to the mile, blinkers come off to help run it out.

Selections: 2,4,9,6

Suggested Bet: DE ASCOT win

RACE 3

Nice race for SEA POEM to record a win third-up this prep, good effort fresh at Swan Hill in a strong BM78 and then worth forgiving last start getting too far back in the run on the Lakeside course. Williams up, sure to be prominent and using the good draw. SECOND TIME is progressive, his best chance hinges on a drying surface on what he’s show to date. DELICATE LADY returns to an easier race and is well-placed, the draw is sticky. TEMPRANILLO mixes form, has the ability to be winning, needs the speed on.

Selections: 4,7,2,6

Suggested Bet: SEA POEM win

RACE 4

The speed is on early. FARAWAY DREAM was ridden for a sit first-up and ran well in a tough race. It’s the right form to be winning second-up. SOJU and LEGAL BEL come through the same race at Sale, the latter had the better run to sprint best. SOJU now gets C Williams and what should be a fast run race out of the chute start, the blinkers had an effect last start and her best chance to break a long run of outs and made her the value on the card. FOXENBERG goes well fresh and will appreciate the inside draw, WALTER SPUR doing best work late.

Selections: 8,7,11,5

Suggested Bet: SOJU 1 x 3

RACE 5

OUR WYND CHIMES was ridden for a sit to get the 1200m last start and was ok, back to a 1000m is a positive and may try to punch forward as they did winning with her on debut. TAN TAT ART looked good defeating subsequent winner CRYPT at Sale and has found a good race sitting off the speed over 1000m coming out of the chute. BLISS BOMB has upside, she has been in much weaker races and therefore hard to be confident in this deeper event. Many minor money hopes.

Selections: 10,8,9,4

Suggested Bet: Exotics

RACE 6

Hardest race of the day, going wide in the quaddie with many winning hopes.  Doubt they go quick. IMPONDERABLE likely leader, goes to 1800m searching for a win and has the blinkers off, winkers on. Surely his chance to break through. BIG SISTER AVA is a lightly tried and on the up, can see them being more positive to make use of the claim in a race without much speed. GIGGENBACH only managed two average efforts last campaign, he’s better than that and wary of him charging late. KOMITO and BLUE WILLOW also in with a shout.

Selections: 15,13,9,14

Suggested Bet: Exotics

RACE 7

EMPRESS OF THE SUN has terms to suit with the flying stable/jockey combination on what appears a moderate speed and a 2.5kg weight swing on last start nemesis NEARCO FROD who now has to overcome another bad draw. The consistent OMAMORI also comes in well at the weights, he needs a win. ALL SO CLEAR goes to 2400m for the first time and is racing to his best.

Selections: 9,1,11,4

Suggested Bet: EMPRESS OF THE SUN win

RACE 8

Hot race to finish the day. I suspect they come wide and therefore wide draws may prove an advantage. The exciting TOUCHDOWN is the starting point in the race, fitness must be a query as he would have lofty targets, he’s been very well-placed to date, this is a good test for him. FLYING VALLEY has always shown a liking for wet tracks and saluted fresh for the new stable, the forecast is friendly but is dual-nominated for the Mildura Cup on Friday. If they choose to run I want to be with him off the let-up. CURRAWOOD is an Irish import first-up for Gavin Bedggood, watch betting. FEAR NO EVIL is unbeaten fresh and resumes, tough race.

Selections: 3,9,6,17

Suggested Bet: FLYING VALLEY each way
