Sandown Park Race 5 - Sportsbet Melbourne Cup Prelude 1

CANYA TALK NOW (8) is progressing well scoring last time out (29.79) at The Meadows and bringing up his 14th career win. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Great chance to get the job done again. MEPUNGA WHISKEY (1) was out of placings last time (30.17) at Wentworth Park in a NG, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths. Has three wins already from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SHIMA BLUSH (3) had won two in a row before finishing second (29.51) last time at this track. Form at the trip sound including 10 wins. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Can measure up. CROYDON (2) has ability and looks a top-three prospect.

Effortless winner showing plenty of speed to score by 7 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at The Meadows, clocking an excellent 29.79 for the 525m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
