Sale Race 9

Toongabbie Lodge (1-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

MISS BLACK (2) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (26.22) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can turn form around here. RUSSEL (7) turned in a moderate effort last time when eighth at Warragul over 400m behind Charge On (24.11) in a T3 Grade 6. Was a winner the start prior. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. CRACKED GEM (8) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fifth (17.43) at Healesville last time. The form from her last run stacks up well. Has ability and can atone. DR. OTHELLO (4) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished seventh over 510m at this track, beaten 16 lengths (29.76) behind Lakeview Hunter in a Mix 6/7 on January 11. Not keen, needs to lift.

Last start finished last on January 5 over 450m at Ballarat behind Jayden beaten 4 lengths (26.22) in a Grade 5. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.
