Sandown Park Race 4 - Million $$ Wheel Melb Cup Night

SHIMA STEEL (2) is better than last start when sixth (30.00) from Box 2 at this track over 515m. Boasts two wins from four starts out of this box. Should bounce back. SWINDLED (6) was resuming when finishing sixth at Bendigo in a Grade 4/5 (28.71). Form at the trip sound including seven wins. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Has ability and is one of the better chances. RUXTON FLAME (1) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.3 lengths (30.04) behind Groovebird at Geelong. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can feature again. URIEL BALE (4) bold run expected on best form.
