Tim O’Connor takes aim at Saturday night’s nine-race meeting at Melton Entertainment Park.
R1 – 6.06pm – PRYDES EASIFEED TROT – 1720m
8 – Six Nations
2 – Preferred Love
5 – Nakedtruth
1 – Amour Maternal
R2 – 6.32pm – SWIFT SIGNS PACE – 1720m
2 – Amphitjet
5 – Ata Rangi
11 – My Little Bo
6 – All Blazing Guns
Amphijet was impressive running home from the back of the field in a sharp 54.51sec last half when second to Wicked Mitzi recently and looks a good chance of finding the fence here. Think he’s going well and the map might suit. Each-way.
BACK: 2 Amphijet – 1 unit (each-way)
R3 – 7.07pm – BETAVET PACE – 1720m
9 – Dessie Gee
10 – Rakajed
6 – Twisting By
8 – Plains In Heaven
Dessie Gee did some work last time and boxed on bravely in a good race that has seen the winner Pesci come out and win again. I think he’s going well at the moment and there looks some good tempo here for him to storm home late. Small play at odds.
BACK: 9 Dessie Gee – 0.5 unit (each-way)
R4 – 7.44pm – DYNAMIC PRINT GROUP PACE – 2240m
3 – Crime Writer
9 – My Uncle Stan
6 – Strapping Red
2 – Jackka Connor
The old boy Crime Writer worked hard on a hot speed to find the death seat at Geelong last time in a race five of these horses contested. He battled away so well and was coming back on the line to be beaten just over 6m. With some luck in running, he wouldn’t shock tonight.
BACK: 3 Crime Writer – 0.5 unit (each-way)
R5 – 8.23pm – BERALDO COFFEE BLACK FRIDAY FREE FOR ALL – 1720m
4 – Bettor Isolate
8 – Bulletproof Boy
2 – Smoken Ace
5 – Hes From Heaven
R6 – 9.03pm – APG – A HORSE FOR EVERYONE VICBRED SUPER SERIES (4YO ENTIRES & GELDINGS) FINAL (GROUP 2) – 2240m
1 – War Dan Buddy
9 – Miki To Success
8 – Stormryder
5 – Do It
War Dan Buddy has the barrier draw advantage over his stablemate and key danger Miki To Success, and I think that’s good enough to see him get home in what appears a match race.
BACK: 1 War Dan Buddy – 2 units (win)
R7 – 9.37pm – APG – A HORSE FOR EVERYONE VICBRED SUPER SERIES (4YO MARES) FINAL (GROUP 2) – 2240m
1 – Kiss
3 – Sweet Ideal
13 – Sweetnikkilou
10 – The Answer
R8 – 10.16pm – RENOWN SILVERWARE TROT – 2240m
8 – Dichotomy
1 – Mitchell Wrap
7 – Ringer Wells
5 – Kyvalleyhoneybunny
R9 – 10.48pm – ALDEBARAN PARK TROTTERS HANDICAP – 2760m
8 – Ollivici
6 – Keayang Stuka
7 – Im Bobby
4 – Imperial Command
Noting a small ownership share in Imperial Command, but I really fancy Ollivici here. He’s in great form this campaign and landed a long-awaited win in dominant fashion over Keayang Stuka last time out. I don’t think the 30m handicap will stop him.
BACK: 8 Ollivici – 4 units (win)
