Sandown Park Race 12

Toongabbie Lodge (275+ Rank)

Prize Money: $3,340

RAPIDO NINJA (6) had been in great form but missed the frame latest when sixth (26.75) in a Grade 5 FIN at Warragul. Shuffled back off the squeeze box last time and never in it. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and is a key runner. REMI JOY (2) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 515m behind Tracking Me (30.67) in a Grade 5 NP. Was a winner prior to that. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from 10 starts. Should be about the mark. NELLIE RUNNING (7) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Smelly Halle (29.86) in a Grade 5 H. Has the pace to be prominent. Comes through a solid form race last start. Leading chance. BLAZING BLUE ICE (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (30.37) over 515m at this track. Has the inside draw and capable of a better result.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.67) in a Grade 5 NP, finishing a 11 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (26.53) over 460m at Warragul. Drawn a inside box but will need everything to go his way.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 515m at this track. Looks tested in this company.

Working her way into winning form after her success on June 30 at Warragul over 460m. Last start was third over 515m in 29.86, behind Smelly Halle. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (30.14) when fourth over 515m at this track in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and seven minors. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
