Sandown Park Race 9

Launching Pad Ht7 (1-6 Wins)

Prize Money: $14,650

SHE'S THAT GIRL (4) lines up chasing another win after getting around the 520m at Wentworth Park in a strong 29.85 on March 22. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. DASHING SLAY (8) is progressing well scoring last time out (29.98) at Angle Park and bringing up her 3rd career win. The form out of last race has been strong. Likely to be in the finish. RAINING FIRE (3) goes very well this trip starting five times for two wins and two minors. Hit the frame latest (26.05) when second at Geelong in a Restricted WIN H. Can feature in the finish. ZIPPING DALILA (1) has ability and looks a top-three prospect.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 15 lengths at Ipswich (30.23) beating Ernie's Hill in a Grade 5 on March 15. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Eye-catching performance to post a big 6 lengths victory in a Other last start at Angle Park, recording a scintillating 29.98 for the 530m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
