Sandown Park Race 3 - Launching Pad Runway Ht2
ON THE PROWL (8) has a strong record this trip with five wins and two placings from 10 starts. Below best last time at this track (29.93) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 8 length fourth. Looks suited here and rates on top. FLEEING (4) was out of the placings last time when sixth at this track (29.87) but did record best time of the card when winning three back. Bold showing expected. MEPUNGA POWER (2) had been in great form but was out of the placings last run, finishing eighth (30.05) in a Special conditions H at this track. Generally fast into stride but was shuffled back from the tricky draw last time. Boasts two wins from two starts out of this box. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. FABRICATION (1) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.

Missed the frame last start when a 5.5 lengths sixth (29.87) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Wentworth Park. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 515m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 530m at Angle Park. Looking to others this time.

Lines up from box 8 for the first time after finishing a 8 length fourth at this track (29.93) in a Special conditions H. Has the ability and should feature.
