Melton Race 8

Aldebaran Park 2yo Trot

Prize Money: $15,000

Manners let REMEMBRANCE TIME (3) down when starting a hot favourite last start so she'll need to get it right but she showed good ability in coming from the back row for an easy win on debut at Geelong prior. Draws well so prepared to give her another chance. KYVALLEY DIXON (2) is another that may be risky after breaking as favourite last start but she looks talented having cruised home by more than 18m at Geelong prior and she draws for a soft run. REGAL GALA (5) has been freshened since he chased a smart one in his last-start second in the Listed Nutrien Final at Wagga and he owns a good record at this distance. CLOUDY CANYON (4) could progress off the narrow debut win at Cranbourne.

Last start broke and was well beaten into sixth behind Majestic Charma at Cranbourne over 2080m on July 5 at $2.40. Raced better the start before that where she won by 18 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Geelong (2:01.80) beating Hes Runaway Bay in on June 19 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 6.74. Draws well and is a major player if she gets it right.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Broke when 7th (Fr6) over 2080m after showing early pace at Cranbourne, well beaten by Kitty Cash (2:36.00) on June 28 at $1.10. Showed ability the run before when she ran on from midfield and posted a big 14 m win as favourite (Sr1) at Geelong (2:42.20) beating Mister Devereaux in on June 5 at $2 at the bell was leading 4.27. Rates highly. Looks talented so has strong claims with manners.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Verbici at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2yo CG on May 19 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Verbici at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2yo LR CG on May 30 at $7. Likely to be in the finish.

Showed a glimmer of form last start then did a good job to finish in the money over 2240m at this track last start. But The start before was well beaten into ninth behind Kyvalley Diablo at Bendigo over 2150m in a 2yo on June 10 at $126. Facing a tough assignment this time around.
