Melton Race 1 - ALDEBARAN PARK VICBRED PLATINUM METROPOLITAN TROT FINAL (GROUP 2)
CHISSY (7) is going great guns with back-to-back wins at this circuit, last week leading from a similar barrier and kicking on strongly to score by 7.5m. Can go forward again and looks a big chance to land the hat trick. NEPHEW OF SONOKO (12) is another that led throughout at this venue last week, getting home by 7m. Draws the second line but is a major player again if things go his way. BRANDLO PRINCE (13) chased Nephew Of Sonoko when runner up last start and will be fitter again third up. GOLDEN SUNSET (4) has been thereabouts of late and can feature from this draw.

Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.75 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:47.20) beating Majestical Belle in NR 70 to 85 on April 21 at $7. Consider for exotics.
