Sandown Park Race 5

Launching Pad Qualifier Ht1

Prize Money: $3,340

PAW TORONTO (5) is a promising type who notched his 4th career success when too good (30.05) at The Meadows last time. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Hard to fault recent form and looks a key chance again. DOONGALLA DON (8) continued his winning form with another strong run to make it back to back wins, scoring by 0.8 lengths (29.69) at this track over 515m. In great recent form and expected to measure up again. SMOKIN' BILLY (1) missed the frame last time at Warragul but the start prior rocketed around 400m at Warragul in 22.70. Expected to feature on best figures. FLEETWOOD EROS (2) was below best last time at The Meadows (30.57) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length fifth. Has already won one times from this draw.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at The Meadows over 525m. The start prior was at his best with a 5 length win over 515m at this track. Must be included.

Has been racing extremely well, putting three wins back-to-back. Last start won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at The Meadows (30.05) beating Cooper's Legacy in a Grade 5 on February 22. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 515m at this track (29.69), beating Paw Barton. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
