Sandown Park Race 1 - Book Launching Pad Dining
HURRICANE (7) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Q Parklands following on from a second place finish (30.17) there the start prior. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Better than last start and worth following up. JAZZMATIC (6) placed on debut by 2 lengths (30.50) at The Meadows over 525m. Meets a moderate line up and should do much better. ASTON MACHINE (1) has been in the minor money at both career runs, the latest finishing second (30.48) at The Meadows. Looks one of the leading chances again. MEPUNGA DESTINY (2) is a newcomer from the Jeffrey Britton kennel. Gets every chance from the inside draw. Profiles nicely but market best guide to ability.

Turned in a fair debut run over 460m at Geelong where she settled off the pace and battled on to finish fifth (27.87) and beaten 29 lengths. Likely to be much improved. Will need to improve to feature.
