Sandown Park Race 6 - Neil Diamond Tribute Show Thursday

AYDEN'S WARRIOR (2) boasts a strong record this journey with 12 wins and 11 minors from 34 tries. Recorded a half a length win (29.88) in a Free For All last time at The Meadows. Looks well placed and should feature. NIGEL DEVERE (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 8 last run (30.08) at The Meadows. Has a strong record out of this box with seven wins and four minor placings from 13 starts. Overdue and is among the main hopes. UNCLE STILTSKIN (8) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his blistering win the start prior, getting around Geelong over 460m in 25.62. Expecting another bold showing. ONCE MORE (5) can fill a top-three spot.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3 length third at The Meadows but did record a speedy 30.08 over the 525m journey. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 525m at The Meadows by half a length in a Free For All. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 2, scoring five times. Go close.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 525m at The Meadows beaten 0.8 lengths (30.58) behind Cloncurry Gold in a Grade 5 on August 12. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (30.12) at big odds over 515m at this track. Boxed awkwardly but is among the better hopes.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 515m at this track in a handy (29.95), beating Escaping Bindi. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to recommend this time.
