Nine three-year-olds have been confirmed to contest the Group 2 Ladbrokes Sandown Guineas (1600m) on Saturday afternoon; representing particularly good value from a betting perspective and several key opportunities to place a winning wager.

Morton’s Fork has been a strong and consistent performer for Godolphin this season and is a clear favourite in 2016 Sandown Guineas betting markets with Ladbrokes.com.au, currently available at even $2 odds.
Receiving a brief freshen-up after winning the Hyland Race Colours 2.y.o Handicap (1400m) on July 16th, Morton’s Fork resumed for a near-two length win in the NGS Super BM74 (1300m) before placing fifth in the Listed Gothic Stakes (1400m) on October 15th.
Having ran on well for second behind Comin’ Through in the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) on October 29th, the Ad Valorem colt is drawn ideally in barrier 5 and will be partnered by Craig Williams.
Jennifer Lynn carries excellent form into the Sandown Guineas and is a justifiable occupant of the second line of betting, at $3.90 odds.
Posting four wins through only five career starts so far, Jennifer Lynn resumed this time for fourth in the Harwood Andrews BM64 (1100m) before returning to winning form in the Vickery Brothers BM64 (1400m) on September 25th.
Repeating the dose in the MyPunter.com Plate (1400m), the High Chaparral filly beat a talented field to the line for a maiden black type success in the Listed Lexus Hybrid Plate (1400m) on November 1st.
Faraway Town has so-far received the greatest market share of interest in 2016 Sandown Guineas betting markets and has firmed into third-favouritism at a $7.50 quote.
Faraway Town capped her two-year-old campaign with a particularly positive performance for fourth in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m), having run a handy third to Yankee Rose in the Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) during The Championships.
Resuming this time for third in the Listed Brian Crowley Stakes (1200m), the Not A Single Doubt filly was unable to figure in the Lexus Hybrid Plate last time out but should relish a step up to a mile on Saturday.
Only two other runners; Benz ($8.50) and Ruthven ($9.50) currently figure at 2016 Sandown Guineas odds of less-than $10 with leading online bookie Ladbrokes.com.au.
