Sandown Park Race 9 - Launching Pad (1-6 Wins) Ht5

TRALAERO (4) shapes well for this backing up a brilliant 26.03 win with success at Bulli over 515m last time, recording 28.47. Expected to go close again if runs up to recent times. BANDIT SWAGGER (8) jumped from a squeeze box last start but was quickly into stride and led throughout to score (29.38) at this track in a Mix 6/7 over 515m. Won at his only start from this box. Has definite claims. ABDULLA ZULU (7) hit the ground running off the low draw last start and was never headed (29.25) at this track in a R/A FIN over 515m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Should feature again. MEPUNGA SHADOW (3) was in the money last start here at this trip - likely to feature again.

Could manage only sixth last time but impressed the start prior when she clocked a solid 25.87 over 460m finishing second at Geelong. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 4.5 lengths third over 515m at this track, clocking 29.86. Looks a solid hope.

In fine form with wins at his last couple of outings when well in the market most recently at Shepparton. Other runners look much more appealing.
