Melton Race 4 - Mimosa Homes Trot
ALDEBARAN ABEL (10) was unplaced two starts ago then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished 10 metres away in eighth over 1720m at this track. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Meets a similar line up so he is sure to be a force if the manners improve. CARLA PIXIE NZ (8) continued her impressive run of recent efforts last time out when runner-up over 1720m at this track, beaten 8 metres. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Has the ability to take this out. KYVALLEY MICHAEL NZ (3) missed the placings two runs back then did a great job to finish 8 metres back in third despite breaking in the run over 2240m at this track two weeks ago. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up so he must be considered. SKY FLAIR (2) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up when resuming over 2240m at this track last time out.

At her previous start game effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early pace at Kilmore, beaten 4.5 m by Aldebaran Susanne (2:03.90) on July 8 at $4.33. Will be about the money.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 6th-10.15 beaten 7 m by Paris Kay (2:45.50) on July 18 at $7. Sure to be thereabouts.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Unclad at this track over 1720m on July 11 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Paris Kay at this track over 2240m on July 18 at $4.80. Rates highly and expected to go well from a low draw.

Last start 5th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 5th-12 beaten 6 m by Unclad (2:09.70) on July 11 at $10. Two runs back 4th (Sr3) over 1720m at this track was 6th-14.25 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Ijustcalledtosay (2:04.30) on July 4 at $34. Unlikely to threaten.

Last start 4th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track was 3rd-6.95 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Keayang Gypsy (2:08.70) on July 25 at $19. Two runs back won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Kilmore (2:46.80) beating Skybella in on July 16 at $6.50. This looks a far sterner test.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind With Aplomb at this track over 2240m on June 20 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Ijustcalledtosay at this track over 1720m on July 4 at $7.50. Winning prospects.

Was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 7th-9.88 beaten 6 m by Muskee (2:05.30) on July 25 at $23. Before that was well back in the run when 4th (Fr4) over 2240m at this track was 5th-7.91 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Howdy Mate (2:47.20) on July 18 at $34. Not keen on his chances in this field.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start then settled down to finish eighth over 1720m at this track last start. The run previous 6th (Sr1) over 2240m at this track, beaten 23 m by Paris Kay (2:45.50) on July 18 at $8.50. Finds a nice race and can improve.
