Melton Race 8 - Prydes Easifeed Trot
I AM WILMA (5) resumes. Last raced when 4.5 metres away in third at this track over 1720m ten weeks ago. Ready for her return following a recent trial win. Well-placed to open this campaign with a win. ALDEBARAN SUE (4) won at Albion Park two runs ago before having her colours lowered at her latest appearance over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 10 metres. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a far better performance. TICTOK (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 2240m at this track. Can make amends. CENTURION DREAM (1) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 2240m at this track.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 2240m at this track, beaten 16 m by Vici Bloom (2:44.50) on August 15 at $26. At her previous start was well beaten after breaking at Maryborough on August 3. Deserves another chance.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr3) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 10 m by Sovereign Tiger (2:42.90) on August 13 at $8.50. Showed ability the run before when she posted a big 7 m win as favourite (Fr3) at Albion Park (2:38.40) beating Tarentaise in 3yo+ on July 28 at $1.22. Great chance to bounce back.
