Tim O’Connor takes aim at the Saturday night metro card from Melton Entertainment Park.
R1 – 6.23pm – HERTZ MELTON FREE FOR ALL – 2240m
12 – Bulletproof Boy
9 – Rakajed
5 – Operative Line
3 – Young Bluey
R2 – 6.55pm – PRYDES EASIFEED MARES PACE – 1720m
10 – Joyride
12 – The Bride
1 – Asmileandawinx
13 – Emily Vincent
Wide-open event between the mares so no suggested win play, but fancy Asmileandawinx can sneak into a place from the good draw. She’s big odds for a horse going well, drawn the pole, that has good gate speed and is over the sprint trip.
BACK: 1 Asmileandawinx – 1 unit (place)
R3 – 7.27pm – VICBRED PLATINUM HOMEGROWN (3YO TROTTERS) – 1720m
3 – Keayang Minnesota
10 – Sky Spirit
4 – Dance Fighter
8 – Bat Out Of Hill
R4 – 8.04pm – ALDEBARAN PARK TROTTERS HANDICAP – 2240m
11 – Ollivici
12 – Im Bobby
10 – Imperial Command
1 – Heza Gun
Noting a small ownership share in Imperial Command, but keen again here on Ollivici. He beat five of these rivals from a 30m handicap last time, and while this race is back in trip, he’s still on top for me. He’s a star in great form.
BACK: 11 Ollivici – 3 units (win)
R5 – 8.44pm – VICBRED PLATINUM HOMEGROWN (3YO PACERS) – 1720m
8 – Beach Dancer
9 – I Am On Therun
5 – The Blazinboots
13 – Kyoretsu
R6 – 9.15pm – APG TROT – 1720m
11 – Keayang Gucci
3 – Nakedtruth
7 – Six Nations
5 – Jilliby Dreamlover
Tricky race with plenty of winning hopes, but loved what I saw from Keayang Gucci last preparation and fancy she will be storming late in a race that appears to have good tempo. Each-way.
BACK: 11 Keayang Gucci – 1 unit (each-way)
R7 – 9.49pm – LOGICAL STAFFING SOLUTIONS PACE – 2240m
9 – Sweetnikkilou
6 – Calexico
2 – Sweetpassion
1 – Twisting By
R8 – 10.22pm – GORDON ROTHACKER CHAMPIONSHIP (1ST HEAT) – 2240m
2 – Browniesatmidnight
6 – Ata Rangi
9 – Sunstar
1 – Luva Scrap
R9 – 10.48pm – GORDON ROTHACKER CHAMPIONSHIP (2ND HEAT) – 2240m
9 – Strapping Red
1 – Hez All Rock
4 – Tooram Magic
5 – Triple Rock Saint
Strapping Red led and won easily in a 55.4sec last half three back and I haven’t been discouraged by her subsequent runs at all. This appears and even type of race with a few chances, but think she can swoop late and go close. Happy to play at around $6.
BACK: 9 Strapping Red – 2 units (each-way)
