Sandown Park Race 8 - Sportsbet Melbourne Cup Prelude 4

INDY MELMEN (7) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind On The Prowl (29.82) in a Mix 3/4. Has the pace to be prominent. Likely to feature again. PAW OSWALD (6) goes very well this course and distance starting 37 times for 14 wins and 15 minors. Scored by 0.8 lengths last time (23.77) in a Free For All over 425m at Bendigo. Can feature in the finish. MEPUNGA SPIRIT (4) placed two runs ago then again in the money last time when second (30.54) at Angle Park in a OPEN. Can hit the frame this time. POINT BREAK (1) showed great speed to lead all the way last start. Will be thereabouts.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (29.82) at this track over 515m. Should prove hard to beat.
