Melton Race 8

Aldebaran Park Trotters Free For All

Stake: $24,300

WATTS UP PARTYTIME (2) made it three wins on the trot at the most recent appearance, getting home by 4.5 metres over 1720m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field, so he is capable of getting the job done again. PLYMOUTH CHUBB (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a nose from the winner in second over 2240m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. PARISIAN ARTISTE (8) will secure a cosy run early on and is the next best after finishing third over 2240m at this track last time out. HARRY STAMPER (6) is close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1720m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Watts Up Partytime at this track over 1720m in a No NR on May 24 at $8. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Aldebaran Zeus at this track over 2240m in a No NR on May 31 at $4. Ready to win and from an inside draw.

Looked good last start. Posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:05.10) beating Harry Stamper in No NR on May 24 at $1.75 at the bell was leading 0.14. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Sr1) at this track (2:05.40) beating Illawong Larajay in NR 80 to 105 on May 17 at $2.10. Rates highly. Expected to measure up again.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Susan Is Her Name at Menangle over 1609m in a G1 No NR M on May 10 at $81. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Im Ready Jet at this track over 2240m in a No NR M on May 17 at $4. Sure to be thereabouts.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr5) over 2240m at this track was 6th-11.15 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Aldebaran Zeus (2:44.70) in No NR on May 31 at $61. Before that 7th (Fr1) over 1720m at this track was 6th-9.35 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Watts Up Partytime (2:05.10) in No NR on May 24 at $23. Not keen on her chances in this field.

Solid performance when a close second after being driven well back, behind Watts Up Partytime at this track over 2240m in a No NR on May 10 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Watts Up Partytime at this track over 1720m in a No NR on May 24 at $5.50. In fine form. Going well and should feature prominently.
