Sandown Park Race 5 - Alderbrook Plumbing Ht1 (1-6 Wins)
CHIRP THIRD (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (26.23) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong. Has a good record at this journey. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from six starts. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. HECTOR DARCY (6) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (34.68) at this track over 595m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading chance. MR. FORTITUDE (7) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 4 lengths at Bendigo in a handy 28.40 beating Rapidfire Denzel. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. ALL WHISKEY (2) placed last time as favourite - worth some thought.

Comes off a (28.40) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 500m at Bendigo. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Can feature in the finish.

Has finished fifth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 515m. Other runners look much more appealing.
