The Money Trail – Sandown, September 7

Racing and Sports finds the best-backed runners in early betting on Wednesday’s meeting at Sandown.

Beach Life (Race 1) has taken over as a $3.50 favourite in a wide market after firming more than a point in early trading. The colt showed promise at his initial campaign with a fast-finishing second on debut before finishing midfield at Flemington and the money suggests he has returned in good order.

Justa Hint (Race 2) is a well-supported $3 favourite having firmed about 40 cents since markets opened. He rates highly off his last-start effort when runner up on the Hillside course and is a previous winner on this track.

Demonstrate (Race 6) has competed well in much stronger races than this so looks well-placed for a first up victory and the punters agree, backing him in a half point as a clear market elect at $2.30. He ran a string of placings including a Group 2 third last campaign and has raced well fresh in the past.

Perfectly Safe (Race 7) is a promising filly and the punters believe she will be too good for her older rivals having firmed a half point as a $2.50 market elect. She rates on top on her last start placing to the promising Leotie and had a win and a close second at her two runs at this course.

Whirlpool (Race 8) has been backed into second favouritism at $4.60, which is close to three points shorter than her initial quote. Her career best Timeform rating is one of the highest in this line up and was stakes placed last campaign so should be ready to fire fresh having won first up in the past.
