Melton Race 3 - Aldebaran Park Trot
WOMAN TO LOVE (7) is a progressive mare who broke her maiden in just her second outing at Bendigo two runs ago before a solid fourth in stronger company at her latest appearance at Bendigo. Draws wide but drops in grade and has upside. Manners let SPANISH RIZARDO (5) down last start but he was working towards a win prior, finishing second two back at Kilmore. His lone career win came at this circuit and distance. Only needs to get things right to be in contention. SAMMY HALLER (2) draws well and is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second from a wider barrier at Bendigo. Tricky draw for SHINELIKETHESUN (11) but she continues to race well with a string of top-four finishes to her name.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Aldebaran Marcus at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR up to 50 on March 24 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Woman To Love at Bendigo over 1650m in a 0-1 WIN on April 1 at $3.40. Draws well and has winning claims.

Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr7) over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 2 m by Bumper Service (2:47.00) in 0-1 WIN on February 26 at $8.50. Can bounce back with manners.

Looks well placed in this tougher race, but she was impressive winning two starts back [-+] won by 5.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Bendigo (2:02.70) beating Sammy Haller in 0-1 WIN on April 1 at $9. Has upside and is a strong contender.
