Caulfield Members Day @ Sandown
TRACK: GOOD 4- RAIL: +9m
Saturday racing in Victoria takes place at Sandown's Lakeside circuit with 10 races for punters - this was scheduled for Caulfield, but with the recent fires and damages, it has been moved to Sandown Lakeside track.
The Group 3 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) and Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes (1000m) will be important for upcoming Group 1 events, and the undercard features strong horses.
The weather is expected to be perfect, and with a Good 4 track and the rail out 6m, top runners should perform well.
The first race starts at 12:15pm AEDT.
