Sandown Park Race 3 - Sportsbet Melbourne Cup Prelude 15

GEMMA KEEPING (1) flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a long neck second (34.28) over 600m at The Meadows. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Likely to feature again. RETALIATION (3) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 2.25 lengths at The Meadows (30.25). The form out of his last race has been franked. In the mix. VISTA WEIRD (2) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by a long neck (34.25) at The Meadows. Form should stack up again here. PAW DAMON (6) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (29.72) in a Free For All at this track last time out.

Hit the ground running and set it up early last time, clocking 34.25 with a long neck win at The Meadows over 600m and making it back to back wins. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Strong performance to post a big 5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at The Meadows, clocking a slick 30.05 over the 525m trip. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.
