By SENTrack

Cam Luke, David Taggart & Miles Pfitzner have your Wednesday sorted on Trackside.

The lads have taken a close look at Sandown, Randwick Kensington & Belmont in a bid to find the family some winners.

See their best bets below:👇

Cam Luke

SANDOWN

Race 2 | 5. Himalayan

She has been up for a while but back to the 1600m and her own sex means she finds an easier race than last few. She has been good in those runs and can find excuses. Her last run wasn’t an end of prep run, just didn’t get barrier luck and went forward in a race ran for the backmarkers. Has had the time to get over the run and from a lovely gate to do no work will be very hard to beat!

Race 4 | 9. Empress Of The Sun

Either this girl or the stablemate will win and I have more trust in this girl in the slop! She was brilliant last start in almost same race where she sat outside the leader and will do same today (LM will lead) Wonderfully claimed makes her almost a weighted certainty here if she runs to the same level and there is no suggestion she wont. I'm taking the quinella with LM has he is a leading horse as seen at SH and if he handles the HT he will be hard to beat! Also having a SRM with Jaykayann to run into top 4 in these sloppy conditions.

Race 7 | 16. Blue Willow

Fingers crossed she jumps better today but she is drawn really well to have a nice trail into the race wither way. She was good last start first time this way going and I like her staying at the 1600. She loves the HT and there is so well weighted here. She beat home Belle Savoir last start and she won Saturday and that’s great form for this.

RANDWICK KENSINGTON

Race 4 | 5. Hereward

Forgot last start where he choked down (tongue tie on) and focus on 2 back in the slop in an almost identical race where he ran really well. He maps to lead and with the 2kg claim will find a nice kick at the top of the straight. Last start went badly but he was in the market that day and today feels a smidge overlooked at $6, he loves the HT and will be very hard to beat!

Race 5 | 11. Charleroi (each-way)

He is back and normally runs well fresh and has trialled up really nicely. We are getting overs because he is drawn a little awkward but I back CS to find a backside as there is a little speed inside. He ran in tougher races last prep and kept knocking on the door so this class suits him lovely. It's his first 1st up run over 7F and that suits him well and is well over the odds at $10 and a great each way play.

Race 7 | 9. Dear Jewel

On the week back up and dropping back to 1000m which I think are both ticks for her today especially if there is speed and she stalks the lead! TC goes on and that seems like an intention to use her early and control the race with her peak fitness. HT is no slow and she will be very hard to hold out late as she will be strong. Very keen!

David Taggart

SANDOWN

Race 2 | 2. Off Their Perch

Relished the heavy conditions when stepping up in trip for the first time last start. Hits this third-up where many of these fillies are deep into their prep, will try and dictate the race, gets a huge claim and is the one they have to beat.

Race 4 | 9. Empress Of The Sun

Gets similar condition to when she won here four weeks ago. After the Jabez claim she comes in lighter at the weights and she is going to be very hard to beat again.

RANDWICK KENSINGTON

Race 3 | 3. Ballpark

Led all the way for an easy win last start and he will get away with a soft lead here. The only way he gets beat if he doesn’t handle the heavy.

Race 6 | 4. Infusion

Won’t know herself racing in this grade. Draws bad but not sure where she will get with the blinkers going on her for the first time, her only win came on the heavy. She may be just too good for them.

Race 7 | 1. Huon

Always races well first up winning four of five and will love these conditions having not missed a place in six wet track runs winning half. Gets the advantage of a 3kg claim and is going to be hard to beat.
