Sale Race 8 - Toongabbie Lodge
MIGHTY SCAR (1) comes off a handy 28.75 placing at this track over 510m. Expected to push the clock again here. FANTASTIC ZOHAN (7) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.5 lengths second (26.04) over 460m at Warragul. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Must be included in calculations. FOLLOW THE SUN (2) had been super consistent recording three placings in a row before he was rewarded with a win last time, scoring at this track over 435m (24.78). Deserves serious consideration again. EAGLE BREAD (5) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when second (26.16) in a Grade 5 over 460m at Warragul.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.75 lengths second at this track but did record a useful 28.75 over the 510m journey. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by a neck at this track over 435m (24.78) beating Boo Boo Giblet in Grade 4/5 on February 25. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money three on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 510m at this track. Prepared to risk.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 5.5 lengths second (26.16) over 460m at Warragul and making it two placings on end. Has ability and worth including.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (24.54) at big odds over 435m at this track. Drawn out wide and looks safely held.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.5 lengths second (26.04) over 460m at Warragul. Consistent performer from this draw. Top chance on best form.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, has ability and looks a winning hope.
