Melton Race 8 - 2construct Trot
BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE (5) made a winning return at Geelong a week ago, coming from this barrier and getting home by 1.2 metres. Should only be better for the hitout so can go on with it. CHINSKI NZ (1) has had nothing go to plan at his last couple, copping a check and breaking last week and working prior. Recorded a string of top-two finishes prior and can bounce back aided by the ace draw. MASSIF CENTRAL (2) should enjoy the return to a mobile start and came from wider than this to score three back at Kilmore. SILENT REVERIE (4) is suited returning to the front row having finished close up the last two times she started from there.

Last start won by 1.2 m (Fr5) at Geelong (2:00.20) beating Sonnyboy in on October 16 at $9.50 at the bell was 4th-6.7. Should be further improved and is a winning chance again.

Last start broke again when 9th (Sr2) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 40 m by Beautiful Sunrise (2:00.20) on October 16 at $13. At the run before broke when 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at Cranbourne well beaten by Alectrona (1:59.30) on September 13 at $7. Suspect he is capable with manners.
