Tim O'Connor has done the form for tonight's meeting at Melton Entertainment Park.
R1 – 6.29pm – Catanach's Jewellers Pace – 1720m
1 – Ghost Of Time
8 – Tiger Bang Wagon
7 – Rakero Slammer
9 – Spyglass
Ghost Of Time was in great form before winning at his last start heading into a break, and has trialled up nicely this week for his return. He has gate speed and can make all here in the opener.
BACK: 1 Ghost Of Time – 2 units (win)
R2 – 7.07pm – Hip Pocket Castlemaine Free For All – 2240m
8 – Serg Blanco
1 – Young Bluey
2 – Operative Line
9 – Bulletproof Boy
Serg Blanco is absolutely flying of late and draws for a nice run in behind the likely leader Young Bluey. From there, he might have the class edge to sprint past his rival, who is stepping up in grade. Steve Duffy’s charge opened up genuine each-way odds but has firmed, so just monitor the market before playing the place.
BACK: 8 Serg Blanco – 2 units (win)
R3 – 7.37pm – Gordon Rothacker Memorial Championship (1st Heat) – 2240m
8 – Dee Roe
3 – Louie Lou I
1 – Hugo Rocks
9 – Hes Charlies Angel
R4 – 8.16pm – Gordon Rothacker Memorial Championship (2nd Heat) – 2240m
2 – Stormryder
6 – Lincoln River
12 – Gipsy Princess
3 – The Bigboss
Looks a great race for Stormryder to lead and win. He’s been competitive in the elite three-year-old features of late and his last win was a Group 1 triumph in a Vicbred Super Series two-year-old final last year. He’s drawn inside his key dangers and should be able to get this done from the front.
BACK: 2 Stormryder – 4 units (win)
R5 – 8.56pm – Logical Staffing Solutions Pace - 1720m
7 – Sir Jimmy
4 – Ooh Ah Listah
3 – Dressed In Gold
11 – Starzzz Destiny
R6 – 9.29pm – Aldebaran Park Trot – 2240m
9 – Aldebaran Acrux
7 – Avant Guard
6 – Perfidious Sue
8 – Aldebaran Boyd
R7 – 10.01pm – Benstud Standardbreds Youthful Stakes (2yo Colts & Geldings) – 1720m
8 – Hesitate
1 – Fairplay
2 – Martyr
6 – Okanui Beach
Hesitate got it all wrong in the Breeders Crown final a few weeks ago, but I was tipping him there after some good lead-up runs. He trialled well last weekend for Saturday night’s assignment and I reckon he might be too slick for his rivals saved for one sprint late.
BACK: 8 Hesitate – 2 units (win)
R8 – 10.31pm – Nevele R Stud Trotters Free For All – 1720m
3 – Lovemeto
8 – Shes Ruby Roo
7 – Jazspur
4 – Illawong Larajay
