R1 – 12:42pm – Vicbred Voucher Maiden Pace - 1740m
5 – Mezzanotti
3 – Jilliby Utah
4 – Only Son
10 – Millwood Miki
Strategy:
Mezzanotti is a 2yo taking on older rivals, but he’s shown above-average talent in his two career placings. Last start he displayed good gate speed, fought hard, and was beaten by a very smart type. What he lacks in polish he makes up for in speed, and this looks an ideal race for him to break through.
BACK: 5 Mezzanotti – 3 Units (win)
R2 – 1:10pm – Caseys Truck & Tractor Pace – 1740m
2 – Maywyns Jewel
8 – Lilstrepo
5 – Caruso Star
7 – Redbank Molly
Strategy:
Maywyns Jewel finds a more suitable grade here and draws to potentially lead, which is her preferred pattern. Two runs ago she controlled the race from a similar setup and was very good in strong company. She can give a great sight at each-way odds.
BACK: 2 Maywyns Jewel – 2 Units (win)

R6 – 3:34pm – BSL St Arnaud Sporting Club Trotters Cup – 2520m
12 – Johns Boy
5 – Link In Bio
11 – Hatchback
9 – Avant Guard
Strategy:
Johns Boy has been going well this preparation and excels under standing start conditions over longer distances. Two runs back he won a heat of the SA Trotters Cup impressively, and this race profiles potentially easier. If he can slide into the race off the right tempo, he’ll be extremely hard to hold out.
BACK: 12 Johns Boy – 2.5 Units (win)
R7 – 4:09pm – Weir’s IGA St Arnaud Pace – 1740m
2 – Williams
10 – Cotchinellie
5 – Eastbro Kozzy
1 – Outmazing
R8 – 4:44pm – McNaulty Racing St Arnaud Pacing Cup – 2150m
8 – Dhaulagiri
7 – Curyo Gentleman
10 – Madigan
12 – Diamond Eclipse
Strategy:
A terrific edition of the St Arnaud Pacing Cup and with so much early speed engaged, they may well challenge the track record set last year. Dhaulagiri was runner-up in this race 12 months ago and his form since has been consistently strong against quality opposition. He’ll need luck from the inside of the second row, but with a fast tempo expected he’ll be powering late.
BACK: 8 Dhaulagiri – 2.5 Units (win)
R9 – 5:29pm – Weir’s IGA St Arnaud Pace – 2150m
