Ryan Phelan has your tips, strategy and quaddie for Echuca harness racing Tuesday night.
R1 – 6:04m – Rich River Golf Club Pace – 1755m
9 – Interpretation
4 – Jindalea Jack
10 – Eastbro Jesse
3 – Wheres Wood Wood
R2 – 6:30pm – Rich River Auto Body Pace – 1755m
3 – Treacheroustimes
2 – Favouritehighlight
7 – Reinder
1 – Malava Miss
Treacheroustimes comes here off a strong last start win over stablemate Favouritehighlight, with the third placegetter since coming out and winning. Despite being 0/5 at this track, he has had excuses each time and now finally draws to lead -arguably the decisive factor.
BACK: 3 Treacheroustimes – 2.5 Units (win)
R3 – 7:01pm – Tayor Made Cows Pace – 2160m
9 – Self Exclusion
10 – Joeys Hangover
2 – Lilnova
8 – Beryls Boots
R4 – 7:38pm – Harold Ogden Memorial Maiden Pace – 2160m
3 – Whatta Ya Up Taa
2 – Orsino Belle
5 – Yankee Babe
9 – Bouy
R5 – 8:12pm – Moama Bowling Club Pace – 1755m
2 – City Rockstar
5 – Keayang Omar
8 – Sharp Interest
7 – Oh Sweet Creature
City Rockstar should improve sharply dropping back into a more suitable race and maps to spear forward and lead over the short trip. With Chris Alford, one of the best at rating them around Echuca aboard, she’s well positioned to control the tempo and take catching.
BACK: 2 City Rockstar – 2.5 Units (win)
R6 – 8:46pm – Victorian Square Trotters Association Trot – 2160m
4 – Coconut Mickey
2 – Madge Egan
8 – Apex
7 – Betsy Anne
R7 – 9:20pm – Llowalong Farms Vicbred Voucher Pace – 1755m
1 – Draw The Curtain
7 – Tap To Pay
8 – Flip A Coin
4 – Krakey
Draw The Curtain is a talented 2yo tackling older horses, but both his career runs have been excellent against far stronger opposition. If he can muster enough early speed from the pole to hold a forward position, he’ll be hard to run down over the sprint trip.
BACK: 1 Draw The Curtain – 3.5 Units (win)
R8 – 9:51pm – Alabar Bloodstock Pace – 2160m
8 – Feel The Reign
2 – Our Bella Lucia
4 – Muscle Shoals
5 – Madam Reactor
Feel The Reign was desperately unlucky last start after copping a severe mid-race check before making up huge ground late. He can punch through behind what should be a fast front line, and with Jack Laugher back aboard, he looks primed to run a big race.
BACK: 8 Feel The Reign – 1.5 Units (win)
