Sandown Park Race 7 - Launching Pad Qualifier Ht2
HIGHLY POTENT (1) is an honest type who is new here. Had a squeeze draw but was too good last time scoring by 1.3 lengths at Warragul over 460m (25.89). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. The one to beat again. TRIPPED OUT (3) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 525m at The Meadows, taking a Mix 6/7 in a speedy 30.01. Expected to feature on best figures. CONCEIVABLE (5) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (29.93) at this track in a Mix 6/7. Has first look at box 5 this time. Has never been out of the money in three starts this course and distance. Can feature again. CRACKERJACK GAZ (7) is a last-start placegetter in a fast-run race - should be thereabouts.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.3 lengths in a Mix 6/7 last start at Warragul, recording a good 25.89 over the 460m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 6 length third (24.58) over 425m at Bendigo and making it two placings on end. Looks a solid hope.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (34.95) at The Meadows over 600m. Has the ability to take this out.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 515m. Last start finished 3rd on February 16 over 515m at this track behind Hi Big Ben beaten 5 lengths (29.93) in a Mix 6/7. Has run slick time here with a 29.49 PB at the distance. Go close.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 4 lengths at Ballarat (25.09) beating Paw Xaria in a Grade 5 on January 28. Expected to run well again.

In the money last time at this track (34.80) in a Restricted WIN H, finishing a neck third. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by a neck at Ballarat over 450m (25.66) beating Paw Monet in R/A FIN on February 11. Happy to risk this time.
