Sandown August 9th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Sandown Race 5
2
Boh Rhap $4.00
Boh Rhap is a winning machine.
The Reward For Effort gelding has been a dominant winner at his latest two outings, and he looks well placed on Wednesday, meeting similar opposition.
From barrier two, he can camp behind the speed, and if the gaps appear as they run for the judge, I expect him to prove too strong late.
The drop back to the mile is advantageous, and the apprentice claim could prove the winning difference.
Hard to toss!
Igotcha will start favourite after an impressive debut win.
She ate up every inch of the 1400m and broke her rivals’ hearts in the shadows.
The step out in distance will play into her favour, and the Maher and Eustace combination must be respected.
It may pay dividends to watch for any further significant market support.
Next Best - Sandown Race 1
12
Wolfy $2.15
Wolfy will start a short-priced favourite after turning heads on debut at Caulfield.
The Tivaci colt looked luckless at a crucial stage, and when he finally saw clear air, he displayed a devasting turn of foot.
He broke all the clocks on course, and I suspect he has a huge engine under his bonnet.
From barrier six, Mark ‘The Money Man’ Zahra can have the talented three-year-old sit midfield with cover, and if he is close enough to the peloton through Corrigan’s Dip, he will provide punters with a collective roar late.
Amigo is ready to peak.
The Snitzel colt will appreciate the step out in distance, and he should be rock-hard fit at this stage of his preparation.
From barrier nine, he will drift back and watch the race unfold, and if the leaders leave the kettle on throughout the race’s early stages, he can capitalise late.
He will always need luck with his racing pattern and style.

Prancing Queen $10.00/$2.70
Prancing Queen is racing in great spirit.
Her first-up win was sensational, and she has been solid without threatening at her previous two outings.
The Sir Prancealot mare will appreciate the drop back to 1000m; she looks well placed in this company.
She can sit in the box seat from barrier four, and if the gaps appear at the right time, she can sprout wings and win.
She has been well supported since markets opened, and she looks over the odds!
Nokhbah will have supporters after an impressive last-start victory at Pakenham.
She produced a blistering time and put her rivals to the sword a long way from home.
If she can slide over from the carpark draw, she will lead the field a merry dance on top of the speed.
Her fate may be decided during the first furlong of the race.
