Tim O’Connor previews all nine races tonight at Melton.
R1 – 6.29pm – WOODLANDS STUD BREEDERS CROWN (3YO COLTS & GELDINGS) (HEAT) – 2240m
- 8 – My Ultimate Jimmy
- 5 – Mac Bon
- 3 – Soho The Real Deal
- 4 – Williams
Concede the map might be against him here, but I just think My Ultimate Jimmy is a really nice horse and I want to be in his corner. Small win bet.
BACK: 8 My Ultimate Jimmy – 1 unit (win)
R2 – 7.03pm – BACCHUS MARSH PACING CUP (2ND HEAT) – 2240m
- 4 – Written In Silk
- 13 – Asmilleandawinx
- 12 – Auckland Red
- 7 – Illawong Phoenix
Thought Written In Silk might be able to find the front here and give them something to catch. She was good winning two starts ago at Maryborough and was brave prior to that when runner-up at Kilmore.
BACK: 4 Written In Silk – 1 unit (win)
R3 – 7.33pm – IRT BREEDERS CROWN (2YO COLTS & GELDINGS) (1ST HEAT) – 2240m
- 1 – Luvtobeuptome
- 7 – Loucasso
- 2 – Cardigan Dan
- 6 – Eyeneedthat
R4 – 8.03pm – BACCHUS MARSH TROTTERS CUP (2ND HEAT) – 2240m
- 8 – Buslin Brody
- 4 – Leanne Leeann
- 6 – Keayang Gypsy
- 9 – Spirited Lass
R5 – 8.33pm – NUTRIEN BREEDERS CROWN (3YO FILLIES) (1ST HEAT) – 2240m
- 5 – Let Her Roll
- 1 – Smirkin Serene
- 3 – Surfe La Mer
- 8 – Lets Go Lorna
R6 – 9.04pm – NUTRIEN BREEDERS CROWN (3YO FILLIES) (2ND HEAT) – 2240m
- 1 – Soho Americano
- 8 – Beach Diamond
- 2 – Peace Out
- 4 – Golden Shooz
I’m shocked Soho Americano isn’t clear favourite here after coming up with barrier one. Yes, she was beaten by Beach Diamond in the recent Vicbred Super Series final, but a surprise early move from Cam Hart that found the front was what won her the race. Can see Soho Americano leading and dictating here.
BACK: 1 Soho Americano – 5 units (win)
R7 – 9.36pm – HYLAND RACING COLOURS BREEDERS CROWN (2YO FILLIES) (1ST HEAT) – 2240m
- 2 – One Millie
- 7 – Sweet Irish Loch
- 1 – Rocknroll Willow
- 8 – Willows Girl
Good wraps on One Millie and her debut win at Globe Derby during October was very good in a slick last half.
BACK: 2 One Millie – 3 units (win)
R8 – 10.07pm – WOODLANDS STUD BREEDERS CROWN (3YO COLTS & GELDINGS) (2ND HEAT) – 2240m
- 4 – Captain Perfect

R9 – 10.32pm – HYLAND RACING COLOURS BREEDERS CROWN (2YO FILLIES) (2ND HEAT) – 2240m
