Sandown Park Race 7 - Sportsbet Melbourne Cup Prelude 3

ON THE PROWL (4) jumped from box 3 last time and ran away with an impressive win scoring by 6 lengths at this track in a handy 29.16. Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. The one to beat again. HE'S A PEARL (7) missed the frame latest (29.75) when fourth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a NG. Has already won four times from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well. KIWI BIRCHIP (2) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.63 beating Swaying. Should feature again. PRISON BREAK (1) was out of placings last time (28.55) at Bendigo in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths. Has five wins already from this draw.
