Sandown Park Race 8 - Home Of The Sportsbet Melb. Cup

AYDEN'S WARRIOR (5) hit the frame latest (41.70) when second at this track in a S/E Group 1. Has already won two times from this draw. Rates a leading player. GALACTIC SPARTAN (1) tends to take a while to wind up, missing the placings two back but running on to last time finishing second (37.61) in a Special conditions race at Bendigo. Form here sound including two wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Winning chance. LAMIA TAYA (2) missed the frame latest when fifth at Sale (37.31) but scored four back at Sale (36.66). Has a solid record over this journey. Can do much better this time. ASTON GOZO (4) won last start in the fastest time on the card. Big chance on that form.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.25 lengths second at Bendigo but did record an outstanding 37.61 over the 660m journey. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Finished in the placings last time but the run prior he was an eye-catching winner scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Special conditions H at this track and clocking a brilliant 41.69 for the 715m trip. Looks the one to beat on win two back.
