Sandown Park Race 6 - Sportsbet Sandown Cup Ht2
AYDEN'S WARRIOR (1) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at Warrnambool in a handy 37.67 beating Amron Toy. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Expected to go well again. VODKA AND ICE (2) was out of in the placings when fifth last time but three runs back produced an excellent 41.52 win over 715m at The Gardens. Top win three back and can measure up again. APILLA (4) won again in an impressive display after leading them home to bring up eight wins in a row at Angle Park over 730m (42.79). Solid formlines coming through her last run. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. TEXAS PRESIDENT (7) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.5 lengths at Warrnambool over 650m (37.67) beating Amron Toy in Special conditions race on May 6. Has run blistering time here with a 41.69 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Gardens (42.91) in a NG, finishing a 13 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 10 starts. Leading player.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 510m at Sale. That followed a win two back in 34.88 beating Paw Quinby over 595m at this track. Would be better placed in something easier.

Had been in solid form before missing the frame at the latest appearance when fourth (42.53) at Wentworth Park. Drawn out wide and will need everything to go her way.

Was out of the placings last time at The Gardens but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need everything to go his way.
