Ryan Phelan's tips, strategy & Quaddie for a bumper 9-race card from Melton Entertainment Park Friday night.

R1 – 6:33m – 2Construct Trot - 1720m

4 – Ringer Wells

2 – Right Of Reply

6 – Mont Sally

10 – Ai Sedai

Ringer Wells steps out second-up for top trainer Andy Gath, looking to bounce back after disappointing as a short-priced favourite last time. He loomed strongly, before shortening stride late, but his form as a three-year-old in top company suggests he has plenty of upside. With natural improvement under Gath’s guidance, he’ll be tough to beat.

BACK: 4 Ringer Wells – 3 Units (win)

R2 – 7:00pm – Abby & Abbey Facebook Pace – 1720m 

8 – Scherger That

11 – Odin

9 – Sassyola

6 – Ruby Wingate

Scherger That is a highly promising three-year-old who has been racing well despite a run of tough draws this campaign. He’s facing another tricky set-up over the short trip but gets a significant class drop. Chris Alford will need to work his magic at some point, but if he finds clear running in time, expect him to be charging home late.

BACK: 8 Sherger That – 2 Units (win)

R3 – 7:28pm – Prydes Easifeed Pace – 1720m 

10 – Ultimate Joy

5 – Writteninthesky

9 – Heavenly Brigade

3 – Goodtime Mach

R4 – 7:58pm – IRT Cranbourne 7000 Pace (1st Ht.) – 1720m 

10 – Blazin Heaven

4 – Ima Charma

3 – Sasscilian

5 – Really Smartie

Blazin Heaven faces a tricky draw here, but if there’s genuine early speed up front, it could set up perfectly for a powerful finish. While her strike rate at this track isn’t ideal, she’s often tackled much stronger company. Expect her to be hitting the line hard late at nice odds.

BACK: 10 Blazin Heaven – 1 Unit (win)

R5 – 8:28pm – Downunder Sulky Company Trot – 1720m 

9 – Allwhatfunjingles

10 – Beautiful Sunrise

7 – Querencia

3 – Off Your Faceski

R6 – 9:05pm – Betavet Pace – 1720m 

5 – Silver Domino

8 – One Off

4 – Zaras All Good

2 – Fake Cullection

R7 – 9:40pm – Alabar Pace – 1720m 

2 – Capitalism

5 - Artist

10 – Ninedolla Toastie

8 – Rocknroll Rocket

Capitalism caught the eye with a strong finishing third behind Golden Tribe last start, closing impressively in smart time at Cranbourne. He has the draw to race handy, giving him a prime opportunity to return to winning form. With the astute combination of Kate and Andy Gath in his corner, confidence is high.

BACK: 2 Capitalism – 4 Units (win)

R8 – 10:17pm – National Guardian Solutions Pace – 1720m 

8 – Home And Dry

6 – Chansu

7 – Etiz Amodel

4 – Jay Bee

R9 – 10:45pm – APG Trot – 1720m 

2 – Prohibited Grace

5 – Nabrina

3 – Ewing

8 – Rocky Valley
