Tim O’Connor has outlined his selections and suggested game plan for tonight’s 10-race card at Melton Entertainment Park.
R1 – 5.31pm – TAB We’re On Free For All Pace – 2240m
5 Rakero Rebel
4 Mach Dan
9 Perfect Class
1 Tango Tara
Rakero Rebel has been smashing the line and the clock in her recent runs when things haven’t panned out to suit. She likely won’t find the pegs here, but I’m hoping the mare can land closer than she has been recently. From there, she could give this a real shake.
BACK: 5 Rakero Rebel – 1 unit (each-way)
R2 – 6.01pm – Benstud Standardbreds Pace – 2240m
5 Clear Left
10 Roadmaster
8 Crime Writer
1 Jaccka Connor
Clear Left went back at the start and had no chance last time out, but his form prior was outstanding. In a difficult race he appears some value and I’m happy to play each-way on a small basis.
BACK: 5 Clear Left – 0.5 unit (each-way)
R3 – 6.31pm – Nevele R Stud Mares Pace – 1720m
7 Very Pretty
3 Tilly Jane
1 Sweetnikkilou
9 Isthisjustfantasy
R4 – 6.58pm – Hygain Trot – 1720m
1 Ebonys Avenger
2 Exalted
7 Kyvalley Amanda
10 Zarem
Ebonys Avenger has been running really well in fast class trotting events of late and draws to advantage here. She has good gate speed, will lead or trail the leader and looks the class.
BACK: 1 Ebonys Avenger – 2 units (win)
R5 – 7.33pm – Beraldo Coffee Pace – 1720m
11 Earl Of Pembroke
6 Ghost Of Time
5 Tiger Band Wagon
2 Son Of Mac
R6 – 8.05pm – Alabar Pace – 1720m
2 Keayang Tokyo
10 Dangerous
6 Oliver Dan
5 Clymenus
The scratching of pole marker Hes Charlies Angel leaves Keayang Tokyo with the gun draw and I fancy he can return in winning form tonight first-up from a break. He’s a very classy customer and appears destined for better grade than this. Keen.
BACK: 2 Keayang Tokyo – 3 units (win)
R7 – 8.35pm – Downunder Sulky Company Trot – 2240m
6 Rapid Return
4 Dichotomy
7 Head Em Up
5 Kyvalley Micheal
R8 – 9.05pm – Aldebaran Park Trotters Free For All – 2240m
4 Just Believe
3 Keayang Ignite
6 Mufasa Metro
2 Aldebaran Zeus
R9 – 9.33pm – Garrards Horse and Hound 3YO Pace – 2240m
6 Hes From Heaven
5 Miki To Success
3 War Dan Buddy
7 Our Luciano
The in-form Hes From Heaven looks a very talented customer and I feel the scratching of Some American really helps in the small field here. Reckon he might just be too classy.
BACK: 6 Hes From Heaven – 2 units (win)
R10 – 10.07pm – Nutrien Equine Pace – 2240m
4 Soho Historia
5 Jillibyjacksparrow
7 Kosimo
6 Dhaulagiri
