Sandown Park Race 6 - Sportsbet Melbourne Cup Prelude 2

OPAWA FANNIN (7) won again and recorded an impressive time after running them ragged making it three on end, scoring at this track over 515m (29.29). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Ideally placed to take this out. RADAR O'REILLY (4) ran good time (30.42) when placing two back at Angle Park but missed the frame latest in a NG at Wentworth Park. Well placed here and can atone this time. ASTON MACHINE (2) has a terrific record here with two wins and three placings from five starts. Hit the frame latest (29.34) when second at this track in a Grade 4. Looks one of the chances. KEEP ROLLING (8) was out of placings last time (29.91) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Has already won three times from this draw.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.91) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Strong record off the draw with three wins and two minors from seven starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
