Tim O'Connor has outlined his selections and suggested game plan for tonight's meeting at Geelong.
R1 – 6.07pm – Hoyts Food Free For All – 2100m
10 Rakero Rebel
2 Operative Line
4 Jillibyjacksparrow
6 Bach
R2 – 6.32pm – Haras Des Trotteurs Trot – 2100m
11 Jazspur
5 Keayang Stuka
1 Aldebaran Acrux
3 Majestical Belle
Tricky race this one, but thought Jazspur represented some value on the each-way given her very consistent form. Favourite Keayang Stuka can definitely win, but he got an easy time of it in the first-up win and that might not be the case here.
BACK: 11 Jazspur – 0.5 unit (each-way)
R3 – 6.59pm – Vale Neil Richmond Pace – 1609m
10 Captain Ravishing
11 Yambukian
6 Settebello
8 Hugo Maguire
R4 – 7.30pm – Apco We've Got You Pace – 1609m
9 Tiger Band Wagon
1 Twisted Bliss
10 Tallaras Shadow
8 All Da Rage
Tiger Band Wagon got the cash for us back on August 9 and his subsequent runs have been good. He finds a winnable race here from a nice trailing draw and I think he can prove too good.
BACK: 9 Tiger Band Wagon – 2 units (win)
R5 – 8.04pm – TAB We're On Pace – 2100m
9 Clymenus
10 Son Of Mac
6 Crime Writer
8 Radius
Clymenus is performing well at the moment and in a race of many hopes, he's worth a little nibble on the each-way.
BACK: 9 Clymenus – 1 unit (each-way)
R6 – 8.35pm – AC Air Pace – 1609m
4 Jilliby Willow
6 Hes From Heaven
1 Le Belle Bijoux
2 Roarforroscoe
R7 – 9.09pm – Evolution Lodge Trotters Free For All – 2100m
7 Callmethebreeze
1 One Over All
4 Ollivici
6 Queen Elida
Callmethebreeze is an established star of trotting and his first-up win for new trainer Andy Gath was simply outstanding. I reckon he's the second best squaregaiter in this country behind champion Just Believe and he should be too classy here.
BACK: 7 Callmethebreeze – 3 units (win)
R8 – 9.46pm – Corio Pizza Pace – 1609m
10 Mona Mia
7 Another Nien
3 Steel Ruler
5 Gilty By The Beach
R9 – 10.17pm – Ocira Concrete Structures Trot – 2100m
3 Old Villa Boy
6 Hephaestus Phoenix
10 Im Bobby
8 El Resamo
Old Villa Boy made mistakes in his first-up run at Terang, but charged through the line in the concluding stages. His form last preparation boasts a win over the handy Imperial Monarch and I think he appeals as a good each-way bet in a race where Im Bobby looks a touch short in the market and Hephaestus Phoenix has been out of form.
BACK: 3 Old Villa Boy – 1 unit (each-way)
