Sandown Park Race 2

Launching Pad Runway Ht1

Stake: $18,148

FRACTIONS (4) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (30.85) in a Special conditions H at this track over 515m. Got the money at his only try from this box. Has ability and is a key runner. TRIPPED OUT (2) was crowded for room and fell here last time. No luck latest and gets chance to atone. MEPUNGA SHADOW (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (30.06) in a Special conditions H at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to bounce back to best. SINALOA BANDIT (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (29.86) over 515m at this track. Aided by the inside draw and is worth plenty of thought.
