ALDEBARAN BROOKE (11) came from this handicap for a win at Bendigo two starts ago before returning to a mobile start and drawing poorly when fourth last time at Melton. Has a very strong record at this longer distance with four wins and three placings from eight attempts and she won the only time she raced here. LINK IN BIO (7) had been racing consistently before a well-deserved success last time out, coming from this mark to score by 3.3 metres at Ballarat. Capable of making it consecutive wins. IM ABOVE THE LAW (6) must be considered after he finished third to Link In Bio a week ago to follow a Geelong win. Fresh winner WATCH AND ACT (8) could take the next step.
