R2 – 5.42pm – HYLAND RACING COLOURS PACE – 1720m

9 – Dhaulagiri

1 – My Uncle Stan

8 – Saifa

3 – Emily Vincent

Dhaulagiri smoked home from back along the pegs first-up and it was a great start to the campaign. Gets a nice trail here and there might be a bit of tempo up top. Each-way.

BACK: 10 Dhaulagiri – 0.5 unit (win)/1.5 units (place)

R3 – 6.14pm – LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES DEANSIDE PACE – 1720m

R5 – 7.10pm – ALDEBARAN PARK TROTTERS FREE FOR ALL – 2240m

10 – Im Ready Jet

9 – Ollivici

3 – Aldebaran Zeus

4 – Plymouth Chubb

Im Ready Jet is a star mare in form, should have the fitness edge over key danger Ollivici and looks to be a class above her rivals tonight.

BACK: 10 Im Ready Jet – 2.5 units (win)

R6 – 7.45pm – HARAS DES TROTTEURS TROT – 2240m

9 – Pinnie

5 – Call Me Jack

R8 – 8.45pm – MIMOSA HOMES PACE – 1720m

8 – Twisted Bliss

7 – Browniesatmidnight

6 – Sweet Ideal

4 – Dance Away

A fast finisher, Twisted Bliss has been so far back in her races of late and should appreciate the small field this evening. I think she’s a good each-way play in a race where she’s dropping a touch in class.

BACK: 8 Twisted Bliss – 0.5 unit (win)/2 units (place)

R9 – 9.15pm – BERALDO COFFEE PACE – 1720m

3 – Seathestars

7 – My Ultimate Barney

8 – Fairplay

1 – Ooh Ah Listah

The speedy and talented Seathestars should lead, dictate and prove too good here.

BACK: 3 Seathestars – 2 units (win)

R10 – 9.46pm – CENTRE STATE PRINTING 2YO TROT – 2240m

3 – Howdy Mate

4 – Elle Perfecto

2 – Pass The Salt

6 – Vance Lane

I loved Howdy Mate’s debut in a race most of these horses contested a fortnight ago. He was held up down the back straight but got clear and rattled home to run third, beaten just 4.5m by Vance Lane. Keen second-up.

BACK: 3 Howdy Mate – 1 unit (win)

QUADDIE
