Menangle Park horseman Rickie Alchin will be looking to continue his Group 1 raid on home soil tonight. 

In the middle of campaigning in Queensland, Alchin will head back home for two Group 1 drives at Menangle. 

Alchin will produce two of his talented trotters in the Trot NSW Finals. 

Watts Up Majestic, a 10-time winner, has drawn the outside barrier in the four/five-year-old $50,000 feature while group-winning filly Tough Love has drawn barrier eight in the three-year-old edition. 

Tough Love’s brother, Tough Monarch, will also make a racing return tonight in race 10. 

Alchin added another Group 1 to his record when winning with Tardelli at Redcliffe last Saturday, giving the horseman four wins at that level this year.

The iForm best bets for Saturday:

Menangle best bet 

Race 7: Watts Up Majestic (11)

Classy square gaiter who appears to have an edge on his rivals.

Menangle next best 

Race 1: Justa Little Bit (7)
