Sandown Park Race 1

Launching Pad Runway Ht1

Stake: $16,775

CHATTERBUG (8) is better than last start when seventh (30.50) in a Special conditions H at this track over 515m. Can make amends. NEEDFUL (2) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a win (25.06) at Shepparton the start prior. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. ACCREDITED (1) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (30.12) last time in a Special conditions H at this track. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Key runner on best form. RAINING FIRE (6) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Was out of placings last time (30.12) at this track in a Special conditions H, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Shepparton over 450m. Last start finished 6th on April 3 over 515m at this track behind Shima Stan beaten 21 lengths (30.91) in a Special conditions H. Brought a six-start winning streak to an end last time when he missing the frame. Worth another try.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 17 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at Albion Park three back. Suited here and expected to bounce back.
