Ryan Phelan has done the form for tonight's 7-race program from Echuca harness. 

R1 – 5:01m – Moama Bowling Club Pace Final - 1755m

9 – Changeover Girl

1 – Karuma Kev

11 – Wicked Mitzi

4 – Torque Power

Changeover Girl looks significantly over the odds due to modest numerical form, but she’s been racing better than it reads. After two tough runs from wide draws, she now lands behind the likely leader over the short trip. With a soft run and access to the sprint lane, she’s capable of charging late and appeals as a strong each-way play.

BACK: 9 Changeover Girl – 1 Units (win) 2 Units (place)


R2 – 5:30pm – Byfords Equipment Pace – 1755m 

2 – Four Starzzz Ruby

8 – Hand Writer

1 – Stellar Queen

10 – Muriel

Four Starzzz Ruby shapes as a top chance here, ticking plenty of boxes. She’s drawn to lead over the sprint trip on her home track, is suited by the mares’ concession, and gains the services of James Herbertson — a major plus. Freshened for this and well-rated, she’s one of the better bets of the night.

BACK: 2 Four Starzzz Ruby – 3 Units (win)


R3 – 5:55pm – Alabar Bloodstock Pace – 1755m 

7 – Fear The Power

1 – With In Reason

5 – Mad Punta

4 – Dieing Fear


R4 – 6:30pm – Rich River Golf Club Trot – 2160m 

9 – Worth Waiting

8 – Alabama May

3 – Attracted

7 – Madge Egan


R5 – 7:00pm – Super Clean Linen Service Maiden Pace – 2160m 

3 – Princess Arna

7 – Caties Son

6 – Krakey

9 – Crocodile Blood

Princess Arna is still a maiden after 27 starts, but this looks a golden opportunity to break through. She maps to lead on the tight Echuca circuit, gets Herbertson aboard, and her main danger has drawn awkwardly. Recent market support and back-to-back placings suggest she’s close — if she’s ever going to win, this could be the time.

BACK: 3 Princess Arna – 2 Units (win)


R6 – 7:34pm – Llowalong Farms Pace – 2160m 

5 – Huxham Chubb

6 – Interpretation

7 – Mussel Shoals

4 – Owen The Saints


R7 – 8:08pm – Kyabram Tyre & Battery Pace – 2160m 

6 – Cobalt Blues

5 – Wheres Wood Wood

7 – Favouritehighlight

4 – Olly Odd Potts

Cobalt Blues might fly under the radar here, but there’s a strong case for him to return to the winners’ list. He maps to get a soft run off good speed drawn to his inside, which should set it up perfectly for his closing burst on a track where he’s tasted success before. Add in the key booking of James Herbertson — who’s unbeaten in two drives on him — and he shapes as a serious contender.

BACK: 6 Cobalt Blues – 2 Units (win)
