Sandown Park Race 6 - Launching Pad Qualifier (1-4 Wins)
SIMPLY STUNNING (8) has a strong record this journey with four wins and a minor from eight starts. Placed last time (29.78) at this track in a Restricted WIN H, finishing second and beaten 3 lengths. Rates a leading player. STORM HUSTLER (6) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (29.54) at this track in a Restricted WIN H over 515m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Form should stack up. TRIPPED OUT (1) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.5 lengths (29.66) behind HIGHLY POTENT at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Winning chance. BLACK STAR RIOT (4) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (29.78) at this track over 515m. Should be right in the finish.
