Sandown Park Race 8 - Sportsbet Melbourne Cup Prelude 11
ASTON MACHINE (1) comes off a (29.90) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Free For All over 525m at The Meadows. Has already won two times from this draw. Looks a leading chance on best. CORBAN YAXLEY (3) bolted in last time, scoring by 5 lengths in slick time (29.25) to take a Grade 4/5 in a new PB this course and distance. Expecting another bold showing. NO STOP SIGNS (4) ran a speedy 34.10 when filling a minor placing over 595m at this track last start. Smart time latest and looks a key chance on that form. BOLD THRUSTER (6) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at The Meadows over 525m in 29.90 last start, beating Ash Intention. Likes the rails so had been in fine form, hitting the frame three times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can measure up again.

Did a good job two starts back at The Meadows to win by 4 lengths in 30.05, beating Hartland Willow. Last start finished 4th over 515m at this track beaten 7 lengths (29.84) behind Mepunga Summit in a Grade 4 on October 22. Hard to have this time.

Flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 29.25 as a strongly fancied winner over 515m at this track. Looks the one to beat again.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 595m at this track beaten 1.4 lengths (34.10) behind Paw Iowa in a Grade 4/5 on October 22. Solid chance with even luck.
