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

R1 – 5.19pm – NEVELE R STUD FREE FOR ALL – 1720m

10 – Triple Eight

11 – Yambukian

7 – Hes From Heaven

8 – Keayang Tokyo

R2 – 5.58pm – LAMAROS HOTEL NMW PACE – 2240m

10 – The Iron Duke

11 – Always Dancing

5 – Tara Victory

4 – Lou Will

The Iron Duke was outstanding on Saturday night when he came from near last to run second to the handy Its Confidential. Gets a much better draw this week and he looks a key contender. Small win bet.

BACK: 10 The Iron Duke – 1 unit (win)

R3 – 6.31pm – HARAS DES TROTTEURS VICBRED PLATINUM TROTTING MARES SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL – 1720m

10 – Mega Spur

9 – Rubys Dream

12 – Keayang Tweetybird

11 – Aldebaran Brooke

R4 – 7.04pm – BREEDERS CROWN NOMS ON HARNESSWEB PACE – 2240m

5 – Justalittlesip

2 – Lincoln River

9 – Mighty Flying Art

8 – Odin

Justalittlesip was super coming from back and wide with the best final half and quarter of the race behind Rakajed last weekend. He’s fourth-up this Saturday night and this looks a winnable assignment on his current form.

BACK: 5 – Justalittlesip – 3 units (win)

R5 – 7.36pm – AUSTRALIAN PACING GOLD PACE – 1720m

1 – Maxnjax

8 – Hes All Rock

2 – Clear Left

5 – Tallaras Shadow

R6 – 8.05pm – BENSTUD STANDARDBREDS TROT – 1720m

1 – Thunda Struck

2 – Alrighty

8 – Sebastians Boy

5 – El Resamo

Not exactly sure how this speed map looks, but I’m tipping Thunda Struck has enough early toe to at least hold leader’s back and from there he can be a major player second-up from a spell. Thought his first-up run was good and he did beat a similar sort of field convincingly from the same draw at Melton last prep. Little each-way in an open event.

BACK: 1 – Thunda Struck – 1 unit (each-way)

R7 – 8.38pm – ALDEBARAN PARK TROTTING MARES FREE FOR ALL – 1720m

6 – Jilliby Ballerini

4 – Aldebaran Vera

5 – Virginia Clowers

7 – Ebonys Avenger

Jilliby Ballerini has been perfect this campaign, with all four of her wins very, very good. She’s a top talent in great form, and I’ve got some minor question marks over her key rivals. Keen.

BACK: 6 – Jilliby Ballerini – 4 units (win)

R8 – 9.08pm – CENTRE STATE PRINTING 2YO TROT – 2240m

5 – Hallebesofine

6 – Elle Perfecto

2 – Truscotts Elegance

7 – Unclad
