Sandown Park Race 7 - Toongabbie Lodge

HECTOR DARCY (2) racing well without winning, placing at his last four runs. Last start finished 3rd on February 12 over 595m at this track behind Champlain beaten 5 lengths (34.68) in a Grade 4/5. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in four starts. Winning claims. FLAMING SMOOTH (4) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fourth (30.72) in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Rates a winning chance on best. MATCHBOX HONEY (6) steps out for the first time at this circuit. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 11 lengths (25.77) at Ballarat. Expected to run well. ROWDY BOY (8) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.
