Sandown Park Race 7 - Toongabbie Lodge
HURRICANE (6) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 6 lengths (34.04) at The Meadows. Expected to go close again. GAMBELLA (8) made light work of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (34.00) at this track over 595m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Must be included in calculations. CHARLESTOWN (1) has a strong record this trip with five wins and three placings from 12 starts. Placed last time (43.16) at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 3.5 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (34.76) over 600m at The Meadows. Draws an inside box and capable of a better result.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning four on end before placing two back. Has ability and looks one of the hopes in this.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an effortless winner scoring by 7 lengths in a Grade 5 H at The Meadows and recording an outstanding 29.77 over the 525m journey. Harder here but worth including in multiples.
