Racing returns to Sandown Hillside with the rail back in the True position and a Good track expected for today’s meeting.

Last week’s 12m rail saw a notable bias toward on-pace runners, but history tells us this track plays fairly when the rail is at 9m or closer.

Expect horses with tactical speed to enjoy an edge early in the day, with backmarkers getting more of a chance as the surface evens out.

We’ve crunched the form and highlighted the top-rated runners in each race, including a Best Bet and Best Value Play to help guide your punting.
