Sandown Park Race 8 - Toongabbie Lodge
BEBOP JAZZ (2) goes very well here starting 12 times for four wins and two minors. Was out of placings last time (26.03) at Warragul in a Special conditions H, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. GIACOMO (3) boasts a strong record this course with seven wins and two minors from 13 tries. Recorded a one length win (29.33) in a Free For All last time at this track. Can feature with the right run. FLAT OUT FREDDY (8) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.47 beating WINNING RATIO. Should feature again. WINNING RATIO (7) collected a minor prize last start at big odds and must be considered.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won easily by 3.5 lengths at Bendigo (28.11) beating Slick Rocket in a Grade 4/5 on January 23. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a slick 30.03 over 525m finishing second at The Meadows. Has the ability and looks hard to top.
