Sandown Park Race 3 - Launching Pad Tickets On Sale
PAW LOVISA (6) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 3 lengths (29.80) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Can find winning form. HARD ROW (7) was a winner two back and strongly fancied last time but could only manage seventh (26.51) at Warragul. Yet to miss the placings from three starts out of this box. In the mix. PAW PHANTOM (3) turned in a fair run last time from an unfavourable draw finishing fourth by 4.5 lengths (29.88). Has placed a couple of times at this track. Should be about the money. PRINCE VALHALLA (4) is sure to play a big role again after a run of minor placings.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Not among the main chances this time.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd over 525m at The Meadows beaten 4.5 lengths (30.46) behind Tony in a Mix 6/7 on January 31. Thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fourth (29.88) at this track. Drawn a inside box but prefer the place this line-up.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (29.87) at this track, making it two placings on end. Drawn awkwardly. Must be included.

Last start finished 2nd in a Mix 6/7 on January 29 over 515m at this track behind Weblec Memphis beaten 3 lengths (29.80). Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 460m at Warragul. Prior to that won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at Warragul (25.78) beating Paw Fortress in a Mix 6/7 on January 13. Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Leading chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 515m at this track. Likely to find this too tough.
