Ryan Phelan has done the form for a big Group One Redwood Day.

R5 – 2:59pm – Les Chapman Memorial NMW Trot – 1690m
4 – Mister Blindside
3 – Keayang Lavita
5 – Six Nations
6 – Gee Cee Calder
Mister Blindside has returned in great order this preparation — an impressive first-up winner before working too hard last time at Melton and sticking on gamely. James Herbertson knows him well and will likely allow him to roll forward freely over the short trip. Expect him to take catching.
BACK: 4 Mister Blindside – 2 Units (win)
R6 – 3:34pm – Aldebaran Park Redwood Classic (G1) – 2190m
4 – Notanotha Naughty
2 – Unclad
3 – The Preacher
11 – Jays All That
Notanotha Naughty was outstanding last week off a 10m handicap, beginning safely, sitting parked, and powering clear late. His prior form has been elite, and with further improvement likely, he looks well placed to score again with a clean getaway.
BACK: 4 Notanotha Naughty – 3 Units (win)
R7 – 4:14pm – Greg Sugars Memorial Trot – 2190m
11 – Valtino
8 – Mitchell Wrap
9 – Imperial Command
3 – Mercenary
Valtino is worth forgiving after failing to get the right tempo at Melton when a strong favourite. He meets a near-identical field here and should get the genuine speed required to unleash late. It would be fitting for all connected with the horse to win this race in memory of the late Greg Sugars.
BACK: 11 Valtino – 2 Units (win)
R8 – 4:49pm – Yabby Dam Farms Victoria Trotters Derby Final (G1) – 2690m
5 – Gatesys Gem
11 – Commodus
4 – Muskee
10 – Mecarno
Gatesys Gem has established herself as one of the elite young trotters the past two seasons. She has the speed to find the top and the strength to control this race over the longer trip. Provided she gets even luck, she’s the one they’ll have to chase down.
BACK: 5 Gatesys Gem – 3 Units (win)
R9 – 5:29pm – Maryborough & District Advertiser 2yo Maiden Trot – 1690m
7 – Adelaide Red
3 – Rapta
10 – Narky Intellectual
