Sandown Park Race 5

Toongabbie Lodge

Prize Money: $3,875

WHERE'S POPPY (1) could manage only second but ran speedy time (28.74) at Sale over 510m. In the money latest and can measure up here. SUMMER SPRITZ (7) hit the ground running off the low draw last start and was never headed (26.05) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 460m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Should be in this for a long way. SWEET NUGGET (2) tends to drift back and work into the race, charging home to score two back before winding up late into third (30.21) in a Grade 5 at this track last time. Expected to feature. MAV REIKO (8) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 0.8 lengths second (28.74) over 510m at Sale. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 29.14. Top chance.

Latest effort finished 3rd over 515m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (30.21) behind Ultimate Warrior in a Grade 5 on June 23. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Facing tougher opposition than he has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Not going well enough to consider.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on June 23 over 515m at this track behind Twisted Fantasy beaten 0.7 lengths (29.94). Looking to others this time.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on June 19 over 515m at this track behind Urana Cobalt beaten 15 lengths (30.39) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at Geelong. Capable of taking this out.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (26.27) over 460m at Warragul. Is worth plenty of thought.
