Sandown Park Race 7 - Toongabbie Lodge
HONEY RYDER (4) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten a neck into second (29.67) at this track in a Grade 5 over 515m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Overdue and is among the main hopes. WHISKY BELLA (1) missed the frame latest (30.60) when fourth over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5 H. Already a winner from this draw. Looks one of the chances. I'M EASY (6) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last start finished 3rd on April 13 over 515m at this track behind Unacceptable Nik beaten 4.5 lengths (29.95) in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Well-placed to take this out. BREAKN' A SWEAT (2) is likely to have admirers.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 H on April 15 over 525m at The Meadows behind Deadly Cool beaten 11 lengths (30.60). Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Last start finished sixth over 515m at this track, beaten 10 lengths (30.35) behind Lush Hour in a Grade 5 on April 13. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a neck second over 515m this track in 29.67. Has the ability to take this out.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 515m at this track. This looks too tough.
