Tim O'Connor has outlined his selections and suggested game plan for tonight's Vicbred Super Series Group 1s at Melton Entertainment Park.
R1 – 5.35pm – Ride High Vicbred Super Series (4yo Entires & Geldings) Final – 2240m
9 Keayang Tokyo
3 Exotic Bushranger
2 My Uncle Stan
8 Perfect Class
Been following My Uncle Stan's progression with interest and his runs in both the heat and semi-final of the ultra-competitive four-year-old entires and geldings’ division have been very good. He draws inside the front row here and I have to back him on an each-way basis with a stronger focus on the place.
BACK: 2 My Uncle Stan – 0.5 unit (win)/1.5 unit (place)
R2 – 6.03pm – Classic Connection Vicbred Super Series (3yo Trotting Fillies) Final - 2240m
8 Keayang Zahara
7 Violet Stanford
2 Jilliby Ballerini
1 Mega Spur
Keayang Zahara is an unbeaten filly from the Margaret Lee stable who is already a multiple Group 1 winner and might rack up her third elite level triumph this evening.
The reason we’re getting a price around the $1.60 range and not much shorter is because she’s drawn inside the back row, but if driver Jason Lee is able to navigate a passage clear, she should be too classy for her rivals.
BACK: 8 Keayang Zahara – 3 units (win)
R3 – 6.34pm – Back Of The Neck Vicbred Super Series (4yo Trotting Mares) Final – 2240m
7 Susan Is Her Name
3 Rockinwithattitude
8 Exalted
1 Keayang Gucci
Susan Is Her Name is a seriously exciting trotter on the comeback from injury who looks ready to produce another big Group 1 display after a strong first-up win at Melton and then in a heat of this series at Geelong. Her victory in last year’s Vicbred final when she galloped at the start and lost a huge amount of ground was something to behold.
BACK: 7 Susan Is Her Name – 3 units (win)
R4 – 7.03pm – Always Ready Vicbred Super Series (2yo Trotting Colts & Geldings) Final – 2240m
6 Vytis
4 Zarski
7 Commodus
1 Lotus Louise
R5 – 7.40pm – Art Major Vicbred Super Series (3yo Colts & Geldings) Final – 2240m
12 Best Deal
13 War Dan Buddy
5 Miki To Success
9 KIngman
R6 – 8.10pm – Captain Crunch Vicbred Super Series (2yo Fillies) Final – 2240m
4 Miss Ari
8 Miss Australiana
12 Let Her Roll
2 Tupelo
Miss Ari's effort in the semi-final of the two-year-old fillies’ series was exceptional when she came from last in the back straight to run fourth to horses that had raced on the pegs. She’s been backed in from $10 to win tonight’s final and I can see why.
BACK: 4 Miss Ari – 1 unit (win)
R7 – 8.40pm – Always B Miki Vicbred Super Series (2yo Colts & Geldings) Final – 2240m
8 Go Miki
1 The Highlight Reel
12 Always Hot
3 New Shuffle
Go Miki defied a race pattern to win her semi-final for the two-year-old colts and geldings from back in the field in good closing splits. She needs some luck from barrier eight, but I fancy she’s good enough to prevail in a wide-open contest.
BACK: 8 Go Miki – 1 unit (win)
R8 – 9.15pm – Vincent Vicbred Super Series (3yo Fillies) Final – 2240m
5 Showsomejoy
7 Kiss
