Melton Race 6 - Dynamic Print Group Trot
CARLA PIXIE NZ (8) has been tackling standing start races in SA of late and placed last start but she should enjoy the return to a mobile start having placed from this row the last four times she raced here. Draws for a trail and has winning claims. ROCKY VALLEY (2) has been coming from wider barriers of late and had hasn't been too far off the placegetters. Has the benefit of a good draw so can do better. ALDEBARAN SUSANNE (6) returns to the front line having finished close up from similar draws to this the last two times she started on this row. ALDEBARAN SUE (7) is better than she has been showing of late and did manage a win the only time she raced over this shorter distance.
