Ryan Phelan takes a look at Tuesday night's 7-race card from Swan Hill.

R1 – 6:00pm – Beck Legal Swan Hill Pace - 1750m

6 – Maxy Can Dance

5 – Surfe La Mer

2 – Ivana Bytheseaside

8 – Wild Ideal

Maxy Can Dance steps out for his second career start after a dominant debut win, scoring by a big margin. He rises in class here and may have to do it the hard way again, but with natural improvement, he has the talent to make it back-to-back victories.

BACK: 6 Maxy Can Dance – 2.5 Units (win)

R2 – 6:35pm – Beck Legal Will Power Pace – 1750m 

7 – Pas Guarantee

8 – Dee Roe

5 – Lincoln River

9 – Ideal Escape

Pas Guarantee has returned from a spell in fine form, delivering three strong performances despite tricky draws and tough company. His last-start third at Melton was full of merit, hitting the line strongly with impressive sectional times. While this draw poses a challenge, securing a spot ahead of key rival Dee Roe could see him tough to beat at value.

BACK: 7 Pas Guarantee – 1.5 Units (win)

R3 – 7:02pm – Swan Hill MRI Appeal Pace – 1750m 

9 – Country Rockstar

3 – Flexi Bet

6 – Iamawingate

5 – No Emotion

Country Rockstar resumes for her second run back after a solid return at Shepparton, where she showed early gate speed before being shuffled back and hitting the line well. With plenty of early tempo in this race, she should get the chance to settle and unleash a strong finishing burst.

BACK: 9 Country Rockstar – 1.5 Units (win)

R4 – 7:36pm – Make Your Will @ Beck Legal Pace – 2240m 

4 – Ruff Nut

8 – Dieing Art

7 – Neatntidy

5 – Steel Ruler

Ruff Nut is a talented 3YO pacer for the astute Aaron Dunn stable who campaigned in New South Wales for a Derby tilt, but after missing the final, he bounced back with a strong win at Penrith. He faced elite company at Melton and now finds himself in a more suitable assignment, where he looks well-placed to produce a big run.

BACK: 4 Ruff Nut – 2.5 Units (win)

R5 – 8:10pm – 2024 Trainer Of The Year Julie Douglas Trotters Handicap – 2240m 

8 – Salski

2 – Boutika

4 – Singara Ted

7 – Luvski

R6 – 8:44pm – 2024 Driver Of The Year Jack Laugher Battlers In The Bush Maiden Pace – 1750m 

8 – Sorriso De Praia

4 – Treacherous Jewel

7 – Coogee

5 – The Feeny Favorite

Sorriso De Praia is having his second career start here after getting it wrong on debut, galloping from an inside draw as favourite. Prior to that he showed plenty of ability at the trials, and with race experience and a trailing draw looks better suited. He can atone with the right manners.

BACK: 8 Sorriso De Praia – 2 Units (win)

R7 – 9:18pm – Beck Legal Succession Planning Pace – 1750m 

2 – Impetuoso

8 – Fair Chance

4 – Icanmotor

3 – One off
