Sandown Park Race 6

Launching Pad April 2

Prize Money: $9,055

PAW OSWALD (1) scorched around 515m in 29.23 when winning a Group Listed at this track last start. Has the ability and expected to go close again. GIACOMO (2) jumped from this box last time and placed in a Group Listed at this track over 515m, finishing second (29.47). Has a very consistent record off this same box, including three wins and six placings from 12 starts. Must include in calculations. MILES APART (8) jumped cleanly from the low draw last start to lead all the way (28.11) at Bendigo in a Grade 4/5 over 500m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Significant danger. CHAMPLAIN (6) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in her.

Missed the frame latest (29.23) when fourth over 510m at Sale in a Grade 4/5. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.3 lengths in 29.83, beating Angry Chief. Last start finished 5th on January 22 over 515m at this track behind Amron Dancer beaten 12 lengths (30.07) in a Mix 3/4. Better off looking to others.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 3.5 lengths over 500m at Bendigo (28.11). Can go well again with the right run.
