Melton Race 10 - Prydes Easifeed Free For All Trot
Quality mare ROCKINWITHATTITUDE (4) makes her first appearance since July's Inter Dominion series where she won a heat and was fourth in the final. Readied with two nice trials and looks well placed for a winning return. HOPPY NZ (6) resumes after ending last campaign with a string of wins and placings at this venue. Has yet to miss a place at this distance and usually performs well fresh so should be ready to go off a solid trial. FOUROUTOFFIVE (5) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back seconds before racing parked but proving too good here last time. Has the fitness edge on the top two and could go on with it. ALDEBARAN ACRUX (3) has been readied with two trials, winning the latest. She draws for a good return.

Backs up three days after she didn't show much broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr2) over 2200m at Ballarat beaten 50 m by Itz Classic Gold (2:46.50) in 3yo on September 16 at $101. Before that 6th (Fr2) over 2180m at Kilmore well beaten by Buckles For Berry (2:49.00) on September 10 at $41. Looks outclassed.

Last start won by 4.5 m (Fr4) at this track (2:45.50) beating Aldebaran Abel in on August 29 at $3.70. In form and with the fitness edge on some of these should go well again.

First up. At the last run he solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 1720m at this track was 2nd-1.8 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Gatesys Gem (2:04.50) on July 11 at $1.90. Usually races well when fresh and has good records both here and at the distance.
