Melton Race 3 - Aldebaran Park Trot

KEAYANG LAVITA (4) overcame a 40m handicap for a strong win last time out, scoring by 1.6m at Terang on Monday. Owns a good record at this shorter distance and she is a three-time winner here so could go back to back. KARBINE (3) draws better than when he worked and faded last start. Good effort to score at this venue two runs ago. A nice barrier should ensure a cosy run. Primary contender. QUIRKY CHARACTER (5) gets a front row draw for the first time since he came from a wider barrier to place here last month. Should get his chance. IRON WOMEN (1) has won a trial since her last run and draws to advantage so look for improvement.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr5) over 1720m at this track, beaten 30 m by Rubys Dream (2:04.10) on October 9 at $6.50. Showed ability the run before when he came from midfield and won by a nose (Fr4) at this track (2:46.30) beating Vici Bloom in on September 26 at $5 at the bell was 2nd-3.1. Draws well so can be right in the thick of things.

Going well. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 m as favourite (40m) at Terang (2:48.60) beating Keayang Gypsy in on October 19 at $2.25 at the bell was 3rd-6. May prove hard to beat again.
