Sandown Park Race 9 - Alderbrook Plumbing
HOLDEN BALE (7) could manage only second at this track last time but caught the eye when clocking a handy 25.29 over 450m at Shepparton the start prior. Looks the one to beat on win two back. PAW VINCE (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (29.86) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has ability and is one of the better chances. LEVIATHAN (2) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner (29.83) three back at this track. Can hit the frame this time. PAW HARRIS (8) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth (29.86) over 515m at this track. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
