Cranbourne Race 6 - Aldebaran Park Trot
WHATS THE TEA (5) is in good form at present. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 5 metres. Won't find this any harder and he can find winning ways. FLING IT RAINBOW (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in fourth over 1690m at Maryborough. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. LOVE WHO (1) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1650m at Bendigo a week-and-a-half ago. ESS KAY HOLLYWOOD (6) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 2080m at this track last time out.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr2) over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 22 m by Te Amo (2:09.50) in NR up to 49 on April 9 at $7.50. Showed ability the race before when he won by a neck (Fr1) at this track (2:40.70) beating Ess Kay Hollywood in NR up to 50 on March 29 at $6.50 at the bell was leading 3.6. Better than last start and can improve sharply.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Against The Bridle at this track over 2080m in a NR up to 50 on March 29 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Te Amo at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR up to 49 on April 9 at $6. Sure to go well again.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Buslin Brody at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR up to 49 on February 26 at $41. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Against The Bridle at this track over 2080m in a NR up to 50 on March 29 at $18. Shapes as one to consider.
