ALDEBARAN PARK TROTTERS FREE FOR ALL 1720m

Track: GOOD      

WATTS UP PARTYTIME (2) made it three wins on the trot at the most recent appearance, getting home by 4.5 metres over 1720m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field, so he is capable of getting the job done again. PLYMOUTH CHUBB (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a nose from the winner in second over 2240m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. PARISIAN ARTISTE (8) will secure a cosy run early on and is the next best after finishing third over 2240m at this track last time out. HARRY STAMPER (6) is close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1720m at this track.
