Tim O'Connor has outlined his selections and suggested game plan for tonight's nine-race card at MEP.

R1 – 5.25pm – TAB We’re On Pace – 1720m

1 Magnetic Terror

11 High Above

6 Vee Em Gee Macray

9 Clear Left

Magnetic Terror was one of last weekend’s Eye-Catchers after being held up badly then coasting to the line with seemingly plenty in reserve behind Roadmaster. He meets a number of rivals from that race here but comes up with the nice draw and looks a good bet.

BACK: 1 Magnetic Terror – 2 units (each-way)

R2 – 6.05pm – Aldebaran Park Trotting Mares Free For All – 2240m

10 Im Ready Jet

9 Queen Elida

2 Exalted

1 Dichotomy

R3 – 6.35pm – Catanach’s Jewellers Pace – 1720m

6 Hugo Maguire

9 Yapper

5 Our Saydie Kay

2 Kia Ora Beauty

R4 – 7pm – Dynamic Print Group Trot – 1720m

3 Hephaestus Phoenix

4 Illawong Larajay

7 Watts Up Partytime

6 Kyvalley Amanda

Hephaestus Phoenix led and chased home the star Hesallmuscle four starts back and then looked a winning hope from the front before galloping inside the 100m two runs back. This looks easier than those assignments and if he finds the top as expected, he might prove hard to run down.

BACK: 3 Hephaestus Phoenix – 1 unit (each-way)

R5 – 7.39pm – The VHRC Holmfield – 1720m

2 Derek The Jet

6 Pinnie

9 Thunda Struck

10 Kyvalley Michael

The unbeaten Derek The Jet draws to advantage over main rival Pinnie, a horse he beat on debut back earlier in the year. He’s trialed well, the stable is confident and he looks very, very hard to beat.

BACK: 2 Derek The Jet – 2 units (win)

R6 – 8.17pm – Hip Pocket Castlemaine Trot – 2240m

6 Keayang Chucky

3 Tweedledee

8 Sundons Courage

1 Overandout

Keayng Chucky returns to the races and I fancy he can make a winning start to the new campaign. Quite simply, he just looks a bit better than his rivals and might just prove too classy for the small field tonight.

BACK: 6 Keayang Chucky – 2 units (win)

R7 – 8.56pm – Lifestyle Communities Pace – 2240m

4 Jillibyjacksparrow

3 The Lost Storm

6 Captain Hammerhead

2 Earl Of Pembroke

R8 – 9.33pm - Pryde’s EasiFeed Mares Free For All – 2240m

5 Rakero Rebel

6 Major Delight

4 Sew What

2 La Belle Bijoux

R9 – 10.10pm – Renown Silverware Pace – 2240m

6 Bay Of Biscay

4 Sweet Bella

3 Arggghhh

7 Classic Mission
