Tim O’Connor has done the form for the eight-race card at Melton this Friday night.
R1 – 5.52pm – MIMOSA HOMES PACE – 1720m
1 – Star Ruler
10 – Midnight Mojo
7 – Villarock
9 – Cinquanta
Star Ruler was good last week from out the back at Geelong and looks to have enough speed to hold the top here. He’s racing in consistent form and it’s hard to see him not going very close given the run he’ll get in transit.
BACK: 1 Star Ruler – 1 unit (each-way)
R2 – 6.27pm – NEVELE R STUD MAIDEN PACE – 1720m
3 – Maxy Bomber
4 – Tellmeboutit
1 – Talkbabytalk
10 – Riddlemethis
A maiden without much form to go on, but I liked the push from James Herbertson on radio this morning for Maxy Bomber, who he says has come on since his (fair) trial a couple of weeks ago. If that’s the case, he might be able to pinch a race like this. It’s not very strong.
BACK: 3 Maxy Bomber – 2 units (win)
R3 – 6.58pm – 2CONSTRUCT 2YO MAIDEN TROT – 2240m
6 – Rose All Day
5 – Majestic Sky
2 – What A Serve
3 – Cooper Kai
Liked Rose All Day last start on the each-way and she ran a good race to just miss. Looks a similar type of event and she’s at a similar price, so let’s play again.
BACK: 6 – Rose All Day – 1 unit (each-way)
R4 – 7.33pm – LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES DEANSIDE TROT – 1720m
4 – I Am Wilma
7 – Centurion Dream
3 – Muscle Memory
9 – Ultimate Tess
R5 – 8.08pm – HYLAND RACING COLOURS PACE – 2240m
1 – Viney
2 – Thinkfast Runfast
9 – Magic Mike
5 – Surfe La Mer
R6 – 8.43pm – CENTRE STATE PRINTING TROT (3RD HEAT) – 2240m
9 – Inspire
5 – Macho Maori
4 – Millitary Merit
7 – Allwatfunjingles
I thought Inspire hit the line nicely enough in a recent trial at Bendigo to suggest he will run well back from a long break, and I’m not overly bullish on the two fancies in the market. Happy his way with James Herbertson in the bike.
BACK: 9 Inspire – 2 units (win)
R7 – 9.18pm – LIONHEART SECURITY PACE – 1720m
6 – Carramar Olam
5 – Marlo Mareau
8 – Reign Em In
4 – Davolas Legacy
R8 – 9.53pm – SWIFT SIGNS PACE – 2240m
6 – Precious Belle
5 – Aveiro
4 – Alcatraz Girl
1 – Ona Merry Dance
I’m a little worried about where Precious Belle ends up from a map perspective, but she’s so ready to win a race like this and I’ll take a chance on her again here. She’s been storming home of late and if the breaks go her way, she can win.
BACK: 6 Precious Belle – 2 units (win)
