Melton Race 10

Aldebaran Park Trot

Prize Money: $11,000

VICI BLOOM (5) did a good job for a winning return after eight months on the sidelines, working to the front before going on to score by 5.7m at this circuit and distance. Draws a couple of spots wider but should strip fitter so can go on with it. LOCKSLEY CAVALIER (3) raced just once last campaign when third after covering ground here in June. That took his fresh record to two wins and two placings from five attempts. Draws well so look for another good showing. NAKEDTRUTH (7) has been freshened since she was stood down with a vet certificate last time but has won a trial in that time and had some decent form prior.

Resumes. Ran only once last preparation running when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Artigas at this track over 2240m on June 20 at $9.50. Can improve. One of the primary contenders.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind I Am Wilma at this track over 2240m in a M on August 22 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Karbine at this track over 2240m on August 29 at $21. Rates highly. Shapes as one to consider.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Sr2) over 2240m at this track beaten 14 m by Karbine (2:48.10) on August 29 at $41. Before that 6th (Fr3) over 2240m at this track well beaten by I Am Wilma (2:44.50) in M on August 22 at $21. Improvement needed.
