Sandown Park Race 9 - Toongabbie Lodge
HE'S A PEARL (3) goes very well this trip starting 27 times for 10 wins and seven minors. In the money last time at this track (29.57) in a S/E Group 1, finishing a 8 length third. Looks suited here and rates on top. PAW CARVER (2) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won three times from six starts. Was out of the placings last time (30.48) at The Meadows in a Free For All, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. FLYING DINAR (1) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (30.11) in a Grade 4/5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can turn it around this time. RALPH WIGGUM (8) is a last start winner who rates one of the chances again.

Finished in the minors last time in a S/E Group 1 at this track when a 8 length third but did run a handy 29.57 over the 515m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.
