Sandown Park Race 4 - Launching Pad Heats 3 April
PAW GUNNER (8) was below best at his last couple but among the placings three back at this track where he ran quick time (29.46). This looks easier and expected to bounce back. SUNNYSIDE JO (2) had been racing well with a Grade 5 H win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Sale. Can find the frame this time. PANAMA RHODE (7) placed last time (29.61) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten a neck. Has already won out of this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. LUXFORD (6) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (29.72) over 515m at this track. Has a fair record off the rails draw but looks tested this line up.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (29.15) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Has two wins and five placings from eight starts from the draw. Makes strong appeal.

Finished sixth (30.46) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Aided by a low draw but will need to find best.
