Sandown Park Race 4 - Toongabbie Lodge (300+ Rank)
CRUZADO (8) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (43.81) in a Restricted WIN at The Meadows. Form here sound including two wins. Tough to beat if on-song. GUSTO (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 515m behind Silver Mack (30.65) in a Grade 5. The form out of his last race has been franked. Has ability and can measure up. PUMPING MAGIC (6) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fifth (26.22) at Warragul in a Restricted WIN H. Can feature with the right run. LILLY LOUD MOUTH (2) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.

Finished third last start (30.18) at big odds over 512m at Mt Gambier. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Others preferred.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (26.22) in a Restricted WIN H, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Can hit the frame with the right run.
