Melton Race 8 - Aldebaran Park Mares Trotters Free For All
JILLIBY BALLERINI (6) has been in the money at each run this prep, the latest effort a third over 1720m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running another big race. VIOLET STANFORD (7) was a neck away in second at this track over 1720m last start at her first run back from a spell. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Taking on a better field but she is fitter and capable of running another big race. ALDEBARAN VERA (5) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 2240m. VIRGINIA CLOWERS (2) was safely held last time out at the second run back from a spell. Open to plenty of improvement with a good draw assisting her chances.
