Stawell 30/11

R1 – 1:20pm – Thomas Foods Trot - 2180m

5 – Oopzee Daizee

4 – Majestic Charma

6 – Snickers Express

1 – Mattyo

Strategy:

Oopzee Daizee has been in very good form this preparation, highlighted by a strong win two starts back when sitting parked and drawing clear late. The draw suits and may even find the top. Michael Bellman is in excellent form and knows her well, which only adds confidence.

BACK: 5 Oopzee Daizee – 2 Units (win)

 

R2 – 1:54pm – Ecycle Solutions Pace (1st Heat) – 1785m 

3 – Caruso Star

4 – Swiss Lightning

7 – The Naked Art

6 – Tellmeboutit

Strategy:

Caruso Star is well placed here from the good draw over the short trip. Expect him to be driven positively with his main rivals drawn wider. His form prior to last start when badly checked, reads strongly enough to be very hard to beat with the right run.

BACK: 2 Caruso Star – 2 Units (win)

 

R3 – 2:29pm – Evolution Auto Electrical & Air Maiden Trot – 1785m 

6 – Me And Zac

3 – In High Places

7 – Kyvalley Joyride

8 – Walking On Water

 

R4 – 3:09pm – Christmas Family Kids Night Tues 23rd Dec Pace – 2180m 

2 – Jilliby Sniper

4 – Royal Rockstar

3 – Always On Safari

7 – Jilliby Utah

 

R5 – 3:49pm – Wimmera Mallee Vets Stawell Trotters Cup – 2600m 

7 – Link In Bio

9 – El Resamo

4 – Mystery Fred

10 – More Wanted

Strategy:

Link In Bio is a mare in excellent form and excels in standing start conditions, evidenced by her St Arnaud Cup win three runs ago when able to stride to the top and control. Chris Alford is airborne at the moment, and with a clean getaway she is the one they’ll need to reel in.

BACK: 7 Link In Bio – 2.5 Units (win)

 

R6 – 4:19pm – PS Baker Automotive Pace (1st Heat) – 1785m 

9 – Grinning Beach Boy

2 – Royal Saxon

4 – Lewielewis

3 – Maywyns Jewel

Strategy:

Grinning Beach Boy may prove the beneficiary of a hot early speed burn from the front line, giving him the perfect trail to launch late. He’s been in solid form this prep and a strong tempo enhances his winning prospects.

BACK: 9 Grinning Beach Boy – 1 Unit (win)

 

R7 – 4:44pm – Stawell Gift Hall Of Fame Stawell Pacing Cup Final – 2600m 

11 – Hez All Rock

8 – Steel Ruler

10 – Bizzness Class

1 – Sir Nippa

Strategy:

Hez All Rock looks to be back in peak touch, delivering excellent provincial runs following brave Melton efforts against much stronger opposition. The extended trip suits, and with a solid early tempo forecast he’ll have every chance to work into the race at the right time and display his toughness.

BACK: 11 Hez All Rock – 2.5 Units (win)

 

R8 – 5:24pm – Stawell Times News Pace Final – 1785m 

9 – Icanmotor

3 – Ittakesluv

5 – To The Max

4 – Livermere
