Sandown Park Race 5 - Toongabbie Lodge
FLASH OF GENIUS (5) is in hot form after clocking a lightning 24.98 victory two back then followed up with a 25.77 win at Geelong over 460m last time. Can measure up on top win two back. MOTOR CITY ROSSI (1) finds it hard to win. Finished third (29.64) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from five attempts. Expected to be in this for a long way. ELITE INTENTION (7) was well in the market last time but only managed sixth (30.15), beaten 6 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to his credit. Should be in this for a long way. ROY INTENTION (3) can sneak into the finish.

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 third (29.64) over 515m at this track. Yet to win but has been in the money four times from five starts off this draw. Right in the mix.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.5 lengths third at Shepparton but did record a quick 25.32 over the 450m journey. Has the ability and looks an each way chance.

Won at The Meadows over 525m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 525m at The Meadows. Is a danger.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd on February 14 over 525m at The Meadows behind Weblec Memphis beaten 8 lengths (30.73) in a R/A FIN. Looks a solid hope.

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 3 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Geelong, clocking a fast 25.77 over the 460m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th on February 12 over 515m at this track behind Lamia Wheeze beaten 6 lengths (30.15) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at Warragul. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (30.49) over 525m at The Meadows. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.
