Tim O'Connor • May 9th, 2025 5:25 pm
Tim O'Connor has done the form for Friday night's meeting at Melton Entertainment Park.
R1 – 5.29pm – DOWNUNDER SULKY COMPANY – 1720m
9 – Momentum Shift
11 – Golden Shooz
13 – Samkerr
8 – Dance Affair
Few chances here, but I thought Momentum Shift looked overs based on current form and with the slight barrier draw advantage on key dangers Golden Shooz and Samkerr. Small each-way at double figures.
BACK: 9 Momentum Shift – 1 unit (each-way)
R2 – 6.03pm – CENTRE STATE PRINTING MAIDEN PACE – 1720m
7 – Maxbeca
10 – Ultimate Safari
11 – Whiskeydrinkingbill
9 – Onyx
I was keen on Maxbeca before the scratching of key danger Blackjack Whacko and now I’m bullish about his chances tonight. Looked the winner last weekend when he surged up from the death but galloped at the corner and lost all hope. He got back down and charged home nicely late. Before that, he attacked the line for second behind the smart Tuivasa at Charlton. Ready.
BACK: 7 Maxbeca – 3 units (win)
R3 – 6.32pm – SWIFT SIGNS MAIDEN TROT – 1720m
1 – Karbine
2 – Sky Flair
9 – Princess Du Fer
5 – Aldebaran Sariah
The erratic Karbine resumes here after a two-year-old season that promised so much but delivered little due to his bad manners. He produced some great efforts despite galloping at times and I reckon he has good ability. A nice trial effort behind Aldebaran Sue – who bolted in on Sunday – has him looking ready to fire first-up.
BACK: 1 Karbine – 2 units (win)
R4 – 7pm – COLINA & CO PACE – 1720m
8 – Celestial Zodiac
1 – Festinalente
6 – Woodlea Diego
5 – Our True Colours
R5 – 7.32pm – VHRC PACE – 1720m
9 – Joeys Hangover
4 – Allheartnoheight
8 – Icanmotor
3 – Park Run
R6 – 8.02pm – 2CONSTRUCT TROT – 1720m
3 – Beautiful Sunrise
4 – Fling It Rainbow
8 – Floating Mountain
1 – Massif Central
Beautiful Sunrise can do things wrong in her races, but continually hits the line late and should go very close in this if she stays in gait.
BACK: 3 Beautiful Sunrise - 1 unit (win)
R7 – 8.32pm – HYGAIN VICTORY PACE – 1720m
8 – Muselet
3 – Hand Writer
6 – Lollipop
5 – Muriel
Incredible win by Muselet last time at Bendigo when he sat last and ran past every rival to score. And it wasn’t the pattern of the race, with leader Villarock boxing on to run second. His best might be a bit classy here despite the draw.
BACK: 8 Muselet – 2 units (win)
R8 – 9.02pm – BERALDO COFFEE PACE – 1720m
5 – Celestial Daybreak
4 – Favouritehighlight
1 – Paigethehurrikane
6 – Miki Mark
