Melton Race 5 - Aldebaran Park Trotters Free For All
IM READY JET (10) made a winning return to this circuit when she worked forward from a wide barrier to lead before cruising home by 13m over this distance. Draws on the back row this time but a repeat of the last performance would see her hard to stop. OLLIVICI (9) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months after showing strong form last campaign including a G1 second to Just Believe. Yet to miss a place in five fresh attempts, winning three of them, and has been readied with two trials. PLYMOUTH CHUBB (4) could be close to a win after placing in his last three and goes up to a distance where he strikes at 50 per cent. PARISIAN ARTISTE (6) must be included after a solid effort from a similar draw last start.
