Sandown Park Race 6

Toongabbie Lodge

Prize Money: $10,375

NAVARINO (3) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 42.19 beating Upset Sunset. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Can continue the winning form. STAR STAY (8) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from four starts. Comes off a (42.24) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 715m at this track. Can feature in the finish. FLYING ENVY (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (34.86) last time in a Grade 4/5 at The Meadows. Should be in this for a long way. ENGELKE ROAD (2) is worth some thought after placing at this track and distance last start.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 0.6 lengths in 34.49, beating Mahogany. Last start finished 5th on March 6 over 595m at this track behind Shake It Off beaten 13 lengths (34.98) in a Mix 3/4. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
