Tim O'Connor has done the form for Saturday night's Group 1 meeting at Melton Entertainment Park.
R1 – 6.25pm – MIMOSA HOMES PACE – 1720m
1 – Odin
10 – Edwarde Grange
8 – Zena Rhayne Bow
11 – El Boston
R2 – 7pm – LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES DEANSIDE PACE – 2240m
12 – Clymenus
5 – Kwick Sand
13 – Nakula
6 – Valiente
R3 – 7.38pm – HERTZ MELTON TROT – 1720m
7 – El Resamo
2 – Promise Dream
5 – Bitta Irish Luck
9 – Ikigai
El Resamo produced a great effort last weekend and there's a chance he finds the top here. From there, he has the class to win this.
BACK: 7 El Resamo – 1 unit (win)
R4 – 8.13pm – LAMARO'S HOTEL PACE – 2240m
8 – Blake Bolac
10 – Raging Whitebait
1 – Repelling
9 – Captain Pins
R5 – 8.48pm – CITY OF MELTON PLATE XXXVI (LISTED CLASSIC) – 2240m
7 – The Narcissist
11 – Best Deal
2 – Final Collect
9 – Smoken Ace
I just love this horse and what he's done since joining the Emma Stewart stable. He has the barrier advantage over stablemate Best Deal - a very smart pacer himself - and that should be good enough to see him lead and win.
BACK: 7 The Narcissist – 4 units (win)
R6 – 9.18pm – ALDEBARAN PARK SUMTHINGABOUTMAORI TROTTING MARES FREE FOR ALL (GROUP 1) – 2760m
6 – Im Ready Jet
7 – Queen Elida
9 – Aldebaran Acrux
4 – Ebonys Avenger
Im Ready Jet ran down Queen Elida last weekend to win impressively first-up from a break. She draws inside her main danger here and I fancy she can make it two from two this preparation.
BACK: 6 Im Ready Jet – 3 units (win)
R7 – 9.48pm – MELTON CITY MUCH MORE STAMPEDE – 1200m
10 – Bulletproof Boy
9 – Tango Tara
5 – Dessie Gee
6 – Abouttime
R8 – 10.22pm – CITY OF MELTON SCOTCH NOTCH MEMORIAL TROT – 1720m
2 – Arcee Phoenix
6 – Keayang Chucky
3 – Im Bobby
4 – Aldebaran Zeus
Arcee Phoenix was super in the Hammerhead Mile last time out when he came from well back to be beaten 6m or so by Keayang Chucky. The key here is that he should lead and has an incredible record in front. That includes a win over the champ Just Believe. Keen.
BACK: 2 Arcee Phoenix – 2 units (win)
R9 – 10.51pm – ENCOMPASSING MARES PACE – 2240m
9 – Draw A Dream
7 – Emily Vincent
2 – Spirit Of Pearl
4 – Norms Lady
