Ryan Phelan has outlined his selections and suggested game plan for tonight's 8-race card at Echuca.

R1 – 5:58pm – Heidi George Mares Classic Pace (1st heat) - 1755m

9 - Gotta Hav Me

4 – Tooby Gold

7 – Emily Vincent

2 – Twilight Beach


R2 – 6:23pm – Mal & Lorraine Keeble’s Rich River Autobody Pace – 2160m 

4 – Ima Charma

1 – Rockstar Leo

5 – Terroroan

9 – Imawingate


R3 – 7:00pm – Yankee Rockstar @ Llowalong Farms Pace – 1755m 

1 – Icanmotor

7 – Alpha Crucis

3 – Joeys Hangover

10 – Fake Cullection

Confident there’s two key winning chances in Icanmotor and Alpha Crucis here. Icanmotor should have the speed to lead with Alpha Crucis on it’s back. From there, James Herbertson may be inclined to take a sit and snooker his main danger back on the pegs and use the sprint lane to his advantage.

BACK: 1 Icanmotor – 3 Units (win)


R4 – 7:32pm – Soho Tribeca @ Llowalong Farms Pace – 1755m 

7 – Majors Creek

1 – Auckland Red

9 – Our Cheeky Devil

8 – Lorimermajor

Majors Creek finally broke through for a win at her last start and has the right set up to go back-to-back. I think the 1 horse can lead and give it enough of a run to the sprint lane for Majors Creek to finish over the top.

BACK: 7 Majors Creek – 2 Units (win)


R5 – 8:05pm – Harold Ogden Memorial Pace – 1755m 

2 – Sir Floyd

7 – Pinnacle Hope

8 – Friends

10 – Eagles and Indians


R6 – 8:35pm – King Of The North @ Llowalong Farms Trot – 2160m 

7 – Tiney

3 – Tetra

11 – Blackrange Glory

8 – Right Of Reply

Tiney was quite brave last start when tested in the lead and stuck on well in solid time. Does have an awkward draw to contend with here, but is fitter now and with even luck can be too good for these.

BACK: 7 Tiney – 2 Units (win)


R7 – 9:05pm – Echuca Steel Sheds 2yo Maiden Pace – 1755m 

9 – Pops Joy

5 – Wicked Mitzi

4 – Sloanie Bel

3 – Goodtime Captain

Pops Joy was poised to be closer last start but didn’t get a lot of room in the straight. When clear, she looked as though she had some speed. The two first starters off the front row have been ok, but happy to be with the exposed form.

BACK: 9 Pops Joy – 3 Units (win)


R8 – 9:35pm – Moama Bowling Club Pace – 2160m 

6 – Slice Of Cheddar

5 – No Neigh Philtra

2 – Eastbro Jesse

7 – Bruised Ego
