Sandown Park Race 5 - Launching Pad (1-6 Wins) Ht1
RESISTING (1) rocketed around 410m at Horsham in 22.84 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Can measure up on top win three back. WIZARD WATSON (2) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start seventh (30.24) at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. WHISKEY WHISKERS (8) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth at this track, but was among the placings at Ballarat three back. Can feature with the right run. HIGHLY POTENT (5) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to bounce back.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (30.25) over 525m at The Meadows. Awkwardly drawn and needs to find best form to feature.
