Ryan Phelan is keen on the twilight card on Stawell Cup day.

R4 – 5:47pm – Petstock Stawell Maiden Pace – 2180m
5 – Happenstbabeachboy
10 – Sportsbou
2 – Startin To Gogh
3 – Malani Joh
Happenstbabeachboy is a first starter off one trial at Maryborough where he dropped out to last to win comfortably. He didn’t beat much there or run scintillating time, but I really liked the way he got through his work professionally and looked to have decent ability.
BACK: 5 Happenstbabeachboy – 1 Unit (win) 2 Units (place)
R5 – 6:17pm – Wimmera Mallee Vets Stawell Trotters Cup – 2600m
5 – Robbinmemates
10 – Kyvalley Heist
3 – Suga Daddy
11 – El Resamo
Robbinmemates is no stranger to these parts, formerly under the care of Andy Gath, had a successful stint in NSW and now with Jason Ainsworth. He’s had one run for the new stable where he was solid to the line off a break and a 20m handicap. He goes to the front row and his manners are very good. He’s worth a small play.
BACK: 5 Robbinmemates – 1 Unit (win)
R6 – 6:52pm – Shelton And Lane Pace – 1785m
1 – Tinsel Tiara
8 – Thelongroadnowhere
2 – Starzinhereyes
4 – Foregoneconclusion
Tinsel Tiara is a newcomer to Victoria from Queensland off the back of two very impressive trials at Melton. Carson Millar very quickly has established himself as a very good trainer, rejuvenating the form of horses like this one. Millar also has a great strike rate with horses fresh-up and has an aggressive young driver in Jordan Leedham to lead all the way.
BACK: 1 Tinsel Tiara – 3 Units (win)
R7 – 7:23pm – Ecycle Solutions Stawell Pacing Cup Final – 2600m
2 – Rudy Gee
1 – Silver Mystique
8 – Kendys Butterfly
11 – All Da Rage
Rudy Gee couldn’t have been more impressive first-up leading all the way in fast time. He looks to have come back much stronger for trainer Mick Stanley this prep, and the fact this race presents in a very similar way, with added fitness he should only improve.
BACK: 2 Rudy Gee – 3 Units (win)
R8 – 7:51pm – Chris N Di’s Bakery Pace – 2180m
9 – Elated
2 – The Sportz Star
8 – Rube Starbuck
5 – The Naked Art

** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore with a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10.
