Tim O'Connor • March 1st, 2025 4:10 pm
Tim O'Connor has done the form for Saturday night's metropolitan meeting at Melton.
R1 – 6.27pm – LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES WOODLEA PACE – 2240m
6 – Keayang Tokyo
10 – Triple Eight
8 – Yambukian
5 – The Lost Storm
R2 – 7.02pm – CENTRE STATE PRINTING PACE – 1720m
13 – Fox Dan
10 – Beach Hopper
11 – Big Bad Ossie
12 – Twisting By
Fox Dan the clear top pick here, but surprised Beach Hopper is one of the despised outsiders in the market. He was very good from the back of the field last time behind Shadow Celt, which followed some other good efforts. He can run a drum at odds.
BACK: 10 Beach Hopper – 1 unit (place)
R3 – 7.36pm – BERALDO COFFEE TROT – 2240m
6 – Fremarkstilly
7 – Avant Guard
9 – Hes A Hammer
3 – Paris Kay
Fremarkstilly was huge when wide for a long way last week before galloping in the home straight after she'd hit the front. If she trots the whole way tonight, I'd be surprised if she didn't win or go very close.
BACK: 6 Fremarkstilly – 2.5 units (win)
R4 – 8.09pm – HIP POCKET CASTLEMAINE PACE – 1720m
4 – Samkerr
5 – Joe Got Rolled
13 – Emily Vincent
12 – Mitzi Said
Samkerr was wayward but won softly in the end at Ballarat last week and was a brave second in a slick last half to Soho Americano on Hunter Cup night. That horse has won again since. She should be finding the front and winning.
BACK: 4 Samkerr – 3 units (win)
R5 – 8.37pm – ALABAR TROT – 1720m
2 – Sundons Courage
8 – Harry Stamper
4 – Parisian Artiste
6 – Aldebaran Zeus
Sundons Courage is into the twilight of his career, but he put up a good finale in the Cranbourne Cup and I thought he got home okay last weekend from the back despite being forced wide at the corner. He's drawn to lead here and fancy he's overs at around $19/$3.20.
BACK: 2 Sundons Courage – 0.5 unit (win)/2 units (place)
R6 – 9.07pm – BENSTUD STANDARDBREDS PACE – 2240m
8 – Captain Bellasario
1 – Sir Jimmy
5 – Louie Lou I
2 – Diamond Eclipse
Reckon Sir Jimmy is vulnerable here given the amount of speed off the front. I liked Captain Bellasario's last effort when second to Rocknroll Hammer and happy his way despite the back row draw.
BACK: 8 Captain Bellasario – 1 unit (win)
R7 – 9.32pm – RENOWN SILVERWARE TROT – 1720m
2 – Ebonys Avenger
4 – Aldebaran Acrux
5 – Kings Guard
1 – Illawong Stardust
R8 – 10.05pm – HYGAIN PACE – 1720m
12 – The Narcissist
2 – El Boston
9 – Harryhoo
5 – Nakula
R9 – 10.35pm – SWIFT SIGNS PACE – 2240m
11 – Always Hot
5 – New Yorker
2 – Clymenus
3 – Repelling
