Melton Race 5 - Aldebaran Park Trot

APRIL SUN (6) worked when racing parked last time but stuck on and finished second in this grade at Kilmore. Has won a trial since. Leading hope in a suitable assignment. FLING IT RAINBOW (3) has been racing very well with a string of top-four finishes since a Maryborough win last month. Went close again last time at Kilmore, finishing third and 4.7 metres from the winner. Likely to get the favours from a good draw. Major player. MONTY MONTE (5) had to work last time and draws a couple of spots lower so may be worth another chance. HILLWINSOME (4) has had a month off but has been kept up to the mark with two nice trials.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Louieville Lass at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR up to 49 on March 5 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Straight To Thetop at Kilmore over 1690m in a NR up to 50 on March 12 at $11. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.
