Sandown Park Race 5

Launching Pad S/F1

Stake: $24,200

VALENZUELA (1) flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a 2 length third (29.67) over 515m at this track. Deserves serious consideration. SHE'S THAT GIRL (3) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her fast win the start prior, getting around Wentworth Park over 520m in 29.85. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. WYONG DALLAS (4) scored (29.28) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Form at the trip excellent including five wins. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance again. ASTON RAYNER (5) has top-three aspirations after showing speed and holding on for a placing last time.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 4 length second (29.80) over 515m at this track. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won comfortably by 7 lengths at this track (29.20) beating Tommy Sparkle in a Mix 6/7 on March 27. Looks a solid contender.
