Sandown Park Race 6 - Launching Pad (1-6 Wins) Ht2
SIMPLY STUNNING (7) did a good job to finish second last time out over 515m at this track (29.81) in a R/A FIN, the second top-three finish on the trot. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. HOUSE OF SINS (8) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 0.8 lengths (25.07) in a R/A FIN at Ballarat. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature again. FLEEING (6) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (29.62) in a Grade 5 at this track. The form out of his last race has been franked. Will give a great sight again. MEPUNGA POWER (4) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Did a good job two starts back at The Meadows to win by 1.4 lengths in 29.99, beating Quinlee Bale. Last start finished last on February 21 over 525m at The Meadows behind Cleo's Star beaten 11 lengths (30.52) in a Special conditions SF. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length third (29.63) over 515m at this track. Thereabouts last couple and expected to run well.
