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

R1 – 5pm – RENOWN SILVERWARE PACE – 1720m

1 – Maxy Wants To Play

4 – Odin

8 – My Uncle Stan

11 – Clymenus

Maxy Wants To Play has been held up a couple of times at Melton from the pole draw, but I’m hoping he sits leader’s back here and gets clear air in the home straight. He’s going well and this is a winnable assignment.

BACK: 1 Maxy Wants To Play – 1 unit (win)

R2 – 5.37pm – LIVING LEGENDS PACE – 1720m

3 – Clear Left

7 – Soho Darknstormy

9 – Dance Affair

1 – Tara Victory

R3 – 6.11pm – CITY OF MELTON PACE – 1720m

11 – Seathestars

9 – Triple Rock Saint

3 – My Little Bo

10 – Wattlebank Arnie

R4 – 6.44pm – NUTRIEN EQUINE TROT – 2240m

3 – Remus Phoenix

9 – Nephew Of Sonoko

2 – Mercenary

8 – Little Yankee

R5 – 7.15pm – BENSTUD STANDARDBREDS PACE – 2240m

6 – Smoken Ace

2 – La Belle Bijoux

8 – Rakero Slammer

3 – Frugal Fare

Smoken Ace was driven cold for one run at his rivals last start, and he was sensational running third to Sir Jimmy. His prior form is strong and he looks ready to win.

BACK: 6 Smoken Ace – 2.5 units (win)

R6 – 7.48pm – LOGICAL STAFFING SOLUTIONS FREE FOR ALL – 2240m

2 – Jilliby Nitro

6 – Bulletproof Boy

8 – Yambukian

1 – Kosimo

Thought Jilliby Nitro could lead and hand to Bulletproof Boy, which would give him a good chance in the sprint home. He hasn’t won for a while, but is going better than his form might suggest and this looks a nice draw for him to show his best.

BACK: 2 Jilliby Nitro – 1 unit (win)/2 units (place)

R7 – 8.20pm – PRYDES EASIFEED TROT – 2240m

8 – Bitta Irish Luck

7 – Maoris Mac

4 – Iron Women

1 – Sunsup

Bitta Irish Luck had some good form last campaign behind the star Susan Is Her Name and has trialled up nicely for this first-up run. Keen.

BACK: 8 Bitta Irish Luck – 2.5 units (win)

R8 – 8.45pm – MIMOSA HOMES MARES TROTTING FREE FOR ALL – 2240m

9 – Im Ready Jet

8 – Aldebaran Acrux

4 – Aldebaran Vera

3 – Jazspur

R9 – 9.15pm – BETAVET 2YO TROT – 1720m

7 – Howdy Mate

6 – Pass The Salt

3 – Elle Perfecto

8 – Vance Lane

Howdy Mate made a mistake and took no part in the race last time out, but his debut performance was very good and I’ll give him another chance tonight. He looks pretty handy.

BACK: 7 Howdy Mate – 1 unit (win)

QUADDIE

2, 6, 8, 3, 1
