Sandown Park Race 11 - Toongabbie Lodge
ELITE INTENTION (4) charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led for much of the way before being grabbed late, finishing a 0.8 lengths second at this track over 515m in 29.64. Good form should continue. LAYLA NOVA (1) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (29.60) at this track over 515m. Must be included in calculations. WHIPPING IT (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 0.7 lengths (22.34) behind Better Banjo at Warragul. Expected to feature. CRACKERJACK TREV (6) can sneak into the finish.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (29.64) at this track over 515m. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won easily by 3.5 lengths at this track (34.67) beating Hector Darcy in a R/A FIN on February 5. Capable of taking this out.

Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (29.87) over 515m at this track. Boxed out wide and needs to bounce back.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Free For All on February 16 over 515m at this track behind Gambella beaten 10 lengths (29.75). No easier here so may struggle.
