Ryan Phelan has done the form for tonight’s 10-race card from Melton.
R1 – 5:59pm – Australian Pacing Gold Pace – 1720m
12 – Dance Affair
2 – Spirit Of Sahara
1 – Jilliby Tidalwave
6 – Ferrigno
R2 – 6:32pm – Aldebaran Park Trot – 1720m
10 – Nephew Of Sonoko
2 – Mercenary
4 – Maoris Mac
7 – Remus Phoenix
R3 – 7:01pm – Lifestyle Communities Woodlea Free For All – 2240m
5 – Hes From Heaven
9 – War Dan Buddy
8 – Dangerous
3 – Ultimate Vinnie
Hes From Heaven has only won twice this season from 10 starts, but he’s been luckless from poor draws over the short trip. The step up in distance suits, and I see him pressing forward to the top — if he finds the lead, he’ll be mighty hard to run down.
BACK: 5 Hes From Heaven – 3.5 Units (win)
R4 – 7:41pm – Haras Des Trotteurs Trot – 1720m
6 – Imperial Command
2 – Mystery Fred
12 – Kyvalley Maven
9 – Six Nations
Imperial Command draws to lead over the short trip which is his ideal set up. He can be tricky in the score-up, but if he does everything right, he has the class to control this and take beating.
BACK: 6 Imperial Command – 2 Units (win)
R5 – 8:12pm – Lionheart Security Trot – 1720m
2 – Worth Waiting
4 – Meadow Valley Star
9 – Dichotomy
13 – Ezra Kai
R6 – 8:43pm – Swift Signs Pace – 1720m
5 – In An Ideal World
4 – Michen Roy
8 – Cheerstolou
2 – Posterized
R7 – 9:16pm – Benstud Standardbreds Mares Pace – 2240m
4 – Centofellie
3 – Soap And Bubbles
1 – My Little Bo
8 – Mitzi Said
Centofellie offers great value — she was tough first-up when runner-up to favourite Soap And Bubbles. She has early speed and with James Herbertson aboard, she may push for the front, with her main danger perhaps preferring a sit over the trip.
BACK: 4 Centofellie – 1 Unit (win)
R8 – 9:52pm – Hygain Victory Pace – 1720m
12 – Cigano
10 – Always Be Blakey
8 – Plains In Heaven
11 – The Statesman
R9 – 10:23pm – Hip Pocket Castlemaine Pace – 2240m
4 – Fox Dan
5 – Roadmaster
2 – Clymenus
9 – Justalittlesip
R10 – 10:54pm – Hertz Melton 3yo Pace – 2240m
6 – Stoms Collide
5 – Captain Perfect
7 – My Ultimate Barney
1 – Ideal Bandit
Storms Collide has returned in devastating fashion, winning both starts this prep with a blend of speed and strength. He looks capable of finding the front and dictating, then dashing clear late.
BACK: 6 Storms Collide – 3.5 Units (win)
QUADDIE (Races 5-8)
