Tim O’Connor has done the form for a Group 1 night of racing at Melton Entertainment Park.
R1 – 6.03pm – CONGRATS HALL OF FAME FAMILIES PACE – 1720m
11 – Silver Pistol
9 – Ima Terminator
1 – Strapping Red
12 – Dhaulagiri
Strapping Red gets a nice inside draw and has good gate speed to hold a prominent position. I think she’s a good play to run a place here in the opening event based off her consistent form and likely position in running.
BACK: 1 Strapping Red – 2 units (place)
R2 – 6.29pm – CONGRATS HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES PACE – 2240m
11 – Kiss
6 – Surfingmakescents
10 – Look Like Diamonds
8 – Diamond Eclipse
Kiss is first-up from a little break, but she’s full of class and looks good enough to overcome the wide back row draw, particularly given the scratching of Sweetnikkilou. There should be genuine tempo, which she will relish.
BACK: 11 Kiss – 2 units (win)
R3 – 6.57pm – CONGRATS HALL OF FAME LEGEND TROT – 2240m
7 – Gatesys Gem
8 – Lady Vici
6 – Keayang Gucci
4 – Kings Guard
R4 – 7.36pm – MIMOSA HOMES VICTORIA SIRES 3YO CLASSIC – 2240m
3 – Storms Collide
9 – Cigano
1 – Jacks Ultimate Fury
8 – Its Confidential
R5 – 8.04pm – HERTZ MELTON CASEY CLASSIC – 2240m
2 – Catch A Wave
9 – War Dan Buddy
8 – Dangerous
3 – Triple Eight
Catch A Wave is short, but still value in my eyes at $1.50 in a race he should lead, dictate and win.
BACK: Catch A Wave – 3 units (win)
R6 – 8.32pm – WESTERN SYRUPS AUSTRALASIAN TROTTING CHAMPIONSHIP (GROUP 3) – 2760m
10 – Jilliby Ballerini
11 – Arcee Phoenix
5 – Remus Phoenix
9 – Derek The Jet
R7 – 9.04pm – ALDEBARAN PARK NEED FOR SPEED PRINCE FINAL (GROUP 1) – 1720m
1 – Commodus
3 – Sam Nien
12 – Muskee
10 – I Am Hellbound
R8 – 9.38pm – ALDEBARAN PARK NEED FOR SPEED PRINCESS FINAL (GROUP 1) – 1720m
7 – Tracy The Jet
8 – Keayang Kurki
6 – I Am Wilma
3 – Queen Kizen
R9 – 10.03pm – IRT PREMIERE 2YO STAKES – 1720m
7 – Moonlight Moth
6 – Usyk
4 – Dembe
3 – Out To Stay
Moonlight Moth made a couple of significant mistakes on debut at Bendigo a couple of weeks ago but produced a huge finale wide on the track to run second. He carved out a 54.18 last half in what was a stunning effort in defeat. He looks very good, and I’ll side with him despite the bad gate.
BACK: 7 Moonlight Moth – 3 units (win)
