Sandown Park Race 8 - Toongabbie Lodge
PAW OSWALD (6) goes very well this trip starting 62 times for 24 wins and 22 minors. Scored by 5 lengths last time (29.14) in a Free For All over 515m at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. TIM ZOO (8) boasts a strong record this journey with 18 wins and 17 minors from 52 tries. Missed the frame latest (29.54) when fourth over 515m at this track in a Free For All. Looks suited here and can measure up. HOT NANU (1) three runs back posted a strong 30.02 win over 525m at The Meadows then has found the minor money in two runs since. Expecting another bold showing. CHAMPLAIN (2) comes here off a freshen-up with top-three prospects.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 25.60 over 460m at Geelong. Has run slick time here with a 29.48 PB at the distance. Go close.

Resuming from a 11 weeks spell and worth noting was a fresh up winner last time in, scoring in 30.03 over 525m at Wagga. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 515m in 29.61 last start, beating Caly Jet. Top-three hope with the right run.

Finished in the minors last time in a Free For All at this track when a 5 length second but did run a slick 29.45 over the 515m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Impressive performance leading throughout to score by 5 lengths in a Free For All last start at this track, clocking a dazzling 29.14 over the 515m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.01), beating Paw Zuri. Will find this a bit tougher, good win recently but others preferred.

Was out of placings last time (29.54) at this track in a Free For All, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 10 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
