Sportsbet Melbourne Cup Prelude 7

Prize Money: $9,055

MEPUNGA REWARD (6) has a strong record this track and trip with six wins and three placings from 10 starts. In the money last time at Angle Park (30.09) in a OPEN, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Looks the one to beat with even luck. KEEP ROLLING (4) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from five tries. Was out of the placings last time (29.53) at this track in a Free For All, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. FEIKUAI CALVIN (3) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (28.78) at Sale in a Grade 4/5 over 510m. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Can make it back-to-back wins. CHEEKY CHOMPERS (2) is building a sequence of top-three results and can add to the tally.
