The enigma that is Ayrton is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au to win the Victoria Handicap (1400m) at Sandown this afternoon.
The Price/Kent trained gelding won the race last year but jury is out on him 12 months on after a plain return at Flemington. But punters think he can bounce back, backing him into $4.20 favourite after opening $7.
Cardinal Gem, a game second last start at Flemington, is on the second line of betting at $4.80, clear of Buffalo River at $5.50, with that price likely to come in if the rain hits and hits hard.
