5 Captain Ravishing
1 Rakero Rebel
10 Cantfindabettorman
9 Vanquish Stride

It’s not usually the play to back second row horses over the sprint trip in FFA contests, but there looks a stack of speed here and I’m having a tiny, tiny place bet on Vanquish Stride, who keeps storming home from back in the field.
BACK: 9 Vanquish Stride – 0.5 units (place)
R2 – 6.04pm – CATANACH’S JEWELLERS PACE – 1720m
11 Younggiftedandblack
6 Rocknallovertheworld
9 Diamond Eclipse
3 Hez Harrywho
Have been a fan of Younggiftedandblack for some time and she broke through in good style last time out on the back of a cracking effort here at Melton. She has class on her side and despite the bad barrier looks a nice each-way bet.
BACK: 11 Younggiftedandblack – 1 unit (each-way)
R3 – 6.32pm – DOWNUNDER SULKY PACE – 2240m
10 Alby Two Chains
11 Rockandance
1 Tara Victory
9 New Yorker
R4 – 7.04pm – HIP POCKET CASTLEMAINE PACE – 2240m
6 Jilliby Illuminate
8 Blaster Ranger
1 Asmileandawinx
10 Kendys Butterfly
R5 – 7.37pm – HYLAND RACING COLOURS PACE – 1720m
2 Courageous Saint
9 Crime Writer
5 Classic Angelina
1 Jaccka Connor
Think there’s a chance Courageous Saint finds the front here and I have liked his recent efforts when closing off hard late. Hoping start 200 is a lucky one for the veteran pacer.
BACK: 2 Courageous Saint – 1 unit (each-way)
R6 – 8.07pm – ALDEBARAN PARK TROTTERS FREE FOR ALL – 2240m
4 Im Ready Jet
6 Ollivici
9 Harry Stamper
5 Queen Elida
R7 – 8.37pm – MIMOSA HOMES PACE – 1720m
1 Hes Charlies Angel
5 Roarforroscoe
8 Justalittlesip
10 Kosimo
R8 – 9.07pm – HARAS DES TROTTEURS TROT – 2240m
3 Mercenary
10 Imperial Monarch
12 Keayang Stuka
1 Gotfeelingsyouknow
Thought he’d open a much bigger price, but reckon Mercenary is drawn to lead and give this a real shake on his best form.
BACK: 3 Mercenary – 3 units (win)
R9 – 9.36pm – NUTRIEN EQUINE TROT – 2240m
8 Mitchell Wrap
2 Leanne Leeann
11 Aldebaran Boyd
5 Mielicki
This bloke was outclassed through the Vicbred series but drops back to a winnable race here. He has a big finale and should be finishing hard with even luck.
BACK: 8 Mitchell Wrap – 2.5 units (win)
