Sandown Park R5 - Launching Pad SF1
VALENZUELA (1) recently won 4 in a row before being headed at the start and finishing 3rd last week. He has never lost when leading at the first turn and looks the likely leader tonight. I’m with him at a nice price. WYONG DALLAS (4) is airborne at present and was a fast winner last week. He is the obvious danger, but from the awkward draw I am taking him on.
Sandown Park R7 - Launching Pad SF3
DOONGALLA JESSIE (2) was run down last last week after leading from a tough box draw and should enjoy a more comfortable run from the good box tonight. She can find the lead and is the one to catch. GAMBELLA (6)has won her last couple and 5 from 7 at Sandown Park. She will need luck in the run but has a big motor.
Sandown Park R8 - LAUNCHING PAD SF4
IRISH BILL (2) pinged the lids to win on his Sandown Park debut last week and can go on with the job from the cushy box. TRIBECA (4) had no luck last week when crowded early and is precariously boxed again here. He might be a star in the making, but a risk at the price.
