Ryan Phelan has done the form for tonight’s 8-race card from Melton.
R1 – 6:04pm – APG Trot – 2240m
4 – Kyvalleyhoneybunny
11 – Heza Gun
8 – Dossier
3 – Ser Patrick
R2 – 6:34pm – Lifestyle Communities Deanside Pace – 1720m
1 – Midnight Desire
2 – Really Smartie
5 – Tex Goes Bang
4 – Treacheroustimes
R3 – 7:03pm – CNC Router Bits – 1720m
9 – Big Rig Saint
8 – Iamawingate
1 – Test Of Fire
10 – Budd Sidewinder
Big Rig Saint has been flying of late, including a strong all-the-way win at Shepparton last start. He now draws the back row but should track through nicely, and with an honest tempo he’ll be powering home late.
BACK: 9 Big Rig Saint– 3 Units (win)
R4 – 7:33pm – Renown Silverware Pace – 2240m
10 – Surfe La Mer
2 – Where Is Woody
9 – The Villain
1 – Lenard Ess
Surfe La Mer is a quality filly resuming well this season and will strip fitter second-up. The draw isn’t kind, but over the longer trip that may be less of a concern – if she gets the right trail into the race, her class can shine late.
BACK: 10 Surfe La Mer – 3 Units (win)
R5 – 8:03pm – Beraldo Coffee Pace – 1720m
5 – Hittheroadjack
6 – Layden
4 – Rock Phone
1 – Mikispur
Hittheroadjack doesn’t win out of turn but finds a much more suitable race here than he’s faced in recent outings. His last victory came in similar conditions from a similar draw, where he sat parked and was tough in good time. A repeat effort sees him right in the finish.
BACK: 5 Hittheroadjack – 2 Units (win)
R6 – 8:33pm – Nevele R Stud Maiden Pace – 1720m
6 – Loan Sailor
9 – Orch
1 – Metro Bliss
8 – Jusjohn
R7 – 9:03pm – Swift Signs Pace – 1720m
5 – Vee Em Gee Macray
3 – Luva Scrap
2 – Jetter Son
4 – Bulldog Khan
Vee Em Gee Macray drops back from much tougher Saturday night company into a winnable race. The map looks tricky with speed drawn inside, but the booking of James Herbertson is a major plus and could be the difference.
BACK: 5 Vee Em Gee Macray – 2 Units (win)
R8 – 9:33pm – Centre State Printing Trot (2nd Heat) – 2240m
2 – Kyvalley Jetstream
4 – Muskee
8 – Desert Assassin
1 – Floating Mountain
