Next Stop Launching Pad For She's That Girl

BOOM youngster She's That Girl will now tackle the lucrative Launching Pad Series after powering to victory in Saturday night's Group 3 New Sensation (520m) at Wentworth Park.

The daughter of Hooked On Scotch rattled home late to gun down early leader Canya Sapphire to score by three-quarters-of-a-length in 29.85.

Finishing third was Sweet Bee another five lengths away.

Trained by Peter Lagogiane, She's That Girl qualified for the $25,000-to-the-winner final with a slashing 29.23 heat success after leading from her box seven draw.

But it was a vastly different story in the final, coming out last from box six before driving up along the rails on the first turn to get herself into a stalking position.

From there, the strength she's exhibited during her seven start career was on full display, sprouting wings late down the centre of the track to claim the first big race of her career.

"I'm just so happy to see her do what she did!"

Winner at six of her seven career starts, She's That Girl will next head to Sandown Park for the opening round of the Launching Pad on April 3.

Lagogiane trialled the brilliant youngster at the venue a fortnight ago where she ran 29.25 at her first look at the track.

She will tackle the $150,000-to-the-winner series on the win limit of six.

Lagogiane won the 2018 Launching Pad with Beast Unleashed.

While She's That Girl stole the show at Wentworth Park on Saturday night, it was grand campaigner Big Energy which set the time standard, stopping the clock in 29.39.

The superstar chaser has won his past two Wentworth Park appearances in Masters Grade from box one but will enter open grade for next week's Easter Egg semi-finals.
