Sandown Park Race 8

Launching Pad Qualifier Ht4

Prize Money: $3,340

DOONGALLA ROCKET (2) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 6 lengths (24.92) at Ballarat. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat. ZAMBORA BLISS (4) is progressing well scoring last time out (25.36) at Ballarat and bringing up his 3rd career win. Can make it two on the bounce. PAW TORRIE (6) is a super consistent dog who rarely misses the frame, last start scoring at The Meadows (30.08), making it two straight wins. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. JULY SHE LIED (1) is building a nice sequence of placings – must be respected.
