Tim O'Connor has done the form for the Saturday night meeting at Melton.

R1 – 5.17pm – LOGICAL STAFFING SOLUTIONS PACE – 1720m

5 – Smoken Ace

2 – Repelling

6 – Sweetpassion

8 – Rakero Slammer

R2 – 5.57pm – NEVELE R STUD PACE – 2240m

5 – Golden Tribe

7 – Maxy Wants To Play

4 – Saifa

11 – Jilliby Illuminate

R3 – 6.39pm – APG TROT – 2240m

4 – Aldebaran Miley

8 – Avant Guard

7 – Mercenary

10 – Illawong Larajay

R4 – 7.11pm – MIMOSA HOMES PACE – 1720m

10 – Calexico

6 – Chasing Rex

5 – Clymenus

7 – Odin

Calexico looks a top three-year-old and his death seat win last time here at Melton against good rivals was a ripper. They got home in 54.9sec there and he looked like he had something in reserve. Smart horse on the way up.

BACK: 10 Calexico – 2 units (win)

R5 – 7.43pm – HIP POCKET CASTLEMAINE PACE – 1720m

1 – Ubetta Knot

4 – Collective Works

8 – Jaccka Connor

11 – Royal Division

Ubetta Knot has been so consistent in recent times, leading and running first or second in her last five starts. She looks to be able to hold the top here and I think she can give a great sight at each-way odds.

BACK: 1 Ubetta Knot – 0.5 unit (each-way)

R6 – 8.13pm – HERTZ MELTON TROT – 1720m

2 – Aardies Peak

1 – Call Me Jack

10 – Mitchell Wrap

11 – Rapid Return

Aardies Peak is a quirky mare with so much ability, but lots of tricks. James Herbertson seems to have clicked with her in recent starts and her brave death seat third to Susan Is Her Name last weekend was a really great effort despite being beaten 20.1m. If she trots the whole way here, I reckon she wins.

BACK: 2 Aardies Peak – 2 units (win)

R7 – 8.45pm – BENSTUD STANDARDBREDS PACE – 1720m

11 – Olivia Rose

10 – Grayson Red

3 – Foregone Conclusion

7 – Feel The Reign

Olivia Rose led at Cranbourne two starts back and was only grabbed late by Miss Ari, who has since gone to Menangle and won a heat of the NSW Oaks. Third at Cranbourne was In An Ideal World, who has trialed and raced well since. Looks good form for a modest event.

BACK: 11 Olivia Rose – 1 unit (each-way)

R8 – 9.16pm – PRYDES EASIFEED 3YO NMW TROT - 2240m

6 – Im Eddie

3 – No Money No Honey

1 – Steady Dream

8 – Mystery Fred

R9 – 9.45pm – ALDEBARAN PARK TROTTERS FREE FOR ALL – 2240m

3 – Parisian Artiste

6 – Harry Stamper

2 – Watts Up Partytime

1 – Plymouth Chubb

R10 – 10.16pm – DYNAMIC PRINT GROUP FREE FOR ALL – 2240m

1 – Yambukian

2 – Bettor Isolate

4 – Better Eclipse

7 – Jilliby Nitro

Really, this just looks Yambukian’s race to lose. He appears an almost certain leader, should get away with little pressure in front and from there he gets every chance to win.

BACK: 1 Yambukian – 3 units (win)

QUADDIE

1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11

1, 2, 10, 11

3, 7, 10, 11, 12

1, 3, 6, 8
