Sandown Park Race 8 - Launching Pad Qualifier Ht3

FRACTIONS (2) exciting prospect yet to taste defeat in four runs. Scored a most impressive win at The Meadows latest in a best of program time (29.58). Three of his wins have been this trip. Rates a top chance again. BLACK STAR RIOT (8) finished third last time (25.93) at Warragul after winning at his previous two outings. Expected to feature. STORM HUSTLER (6) was prominent early from the tricky draw and stalked the lead before levelling up to score (25.48) at Warragul in a Mix 6/7 FIN over 460m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. BLUE STORM (1) recorded a slick time in winning last time. Worth consideration.

On a hot streak of form, the latest charging out of the boxes early and scoring at The Meadows (29.58), making it four straight wins. Key chance on that latest effort.

Backs up after winning by 2.5 lengths at Geelong (26.08) beating Still Believe in a Mix 6/7 on February 17 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 5.5 lengths at Warragul (25.48) beating Perfect Symphony in a Mix 6/7 FIN on February 13. Has ability and worth including.

Going very well with wins at his last two. Scored most recently over 435m at Sale in Grade 5 class five days ago. Not suited by wide draw, not keen this time.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 7 length third over 460m Warragul in 25.93. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.
