Sandown Park Race 5

Toongabbie Lodge

Prize Money: $10,095

SLICK NITRO (3) jumped from the pinch last start to lead all the way and score (42.92) at The Meadows in Grade 4/5 over 730m. The hardest to beat again. PARABOLA (1) was in the minors two back (35.02) at this track but ran below best last time at Traralgon, finishing 7th. Boasts four wins from five starts out of this box. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. PAW VORTEX (8) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 2 lengths (34.23). Leading player again. PAW QUINBY (6) is worth some thought after placing in an impressive time last start.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (34.98) beating Parabola in a Grade 5 on June 29. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last six starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on July 4 over 600m at The Meadows behind Amron Toy beaten 2.25 lengths (34.55). Looks a solid hope.
