With the track sure to be heavy for Sandown-Hillside races a track rating of at least a Soft 7 presents an intriguing challenge for punters. Will there be more rain or won’t there? The Professor and the Gelding have four best bets that will hopefully all get across the line today regardless of whether it rains or not.

Sandown Hillside

Professor’s tips

Race 2 Horse 1 – Bay Thirteen (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 7 Horse 10 – Daytona Bay (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Gelding’s tips

Race 5 Horse 5 – Cap de Joie

Race 8 Horse 2 – Pinstriped

Professor’s Parlay

Race 7 Horse 1 – Zaaki (Sunshine Coast races) into Geelong to beat Adelaide Crows (AFL) into Manchester City to beat Leeds United (EPL).

Good luck and good punting!
