Sandown Park Race 5 - Alderbrook Plumbing
MEPUNGA EXPRESS (7) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when second (25.58) at Geelong in a Special conditions H. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. HAPPY DAD (3) was in the money last time at The Meadows (30.46) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Has two wins already from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. MONUMENT (1) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races, hitting the line hard to score two back then came home strongly into third (30.16) in a R/A FIN at this track last time. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Leading chance. DURAN OLLY (2) is a last-start placegetter and was not beaten too far - in the mix again.

In the money last time at this track (30.16) in a R/A FIN, finishing a 4 length third. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when second (30.51) over 525m at The Meadows. Drawn close to the inside. One of the better hopes.

Won at this track over 515m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 595m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.
