Tim O’Connor takes a look at tonight’s meeting from Geelong, featuring the Bacchus Marsh Pacing and Trotting Cup Finals.
R1 – 6.33pm – BETFOCUS PACE – 1609m
- 2 – Amphijet
- 10 – Royal Appointment
- 8 – Steel Ruler
- 6 – Big Sledge Hammer
Amphijet has been in great form of late and chased home Ata Rangi latest, and that horse has won again since. Hoping he can lead here.
BACK: 2 Amphijet – 2 units (win)
R2 – 7.07pm – GEELONG ISUZU TRUCKS PACE (1ST HEAT) – 1609m
- 4 – Huxham Chubb
- 3 – Riddlemethis
- 9 – Metro Bliss
- 8 – Carry On Cornish
Huxham Chubb was outclassed in the recent Vicbred and Breeders Crown series, but had shown some promise in runs before that. Small each-way play in an open race.
BACK: 4 Huxham Chubb – 1 unit (each-way)
R3 – 7.37pm – BACCHUS MARSH TROTTERS CUP FINAL – 2100m
- 5 – Keayang Gypsy
- 13 – Spirited Lass
- 8 – Aldebaran Susanne
- 4 – Leanne Leeann
R4 – 8.03pm – EVOLUTION LODGE TROT – 1609m
- 4 – El Resamo
- 10 – Dichotomy
- 2 – Nakedtruth
- 1 – Avant Guard
I think Nakedtruth will find the fence here and looks a great place bet given his recent good form.
BACK: 2 Nakedtruth – 3 units (place)
R5 – 8.33pm – BACCHUS MARSH PACING CUP FINAL – 2100m
- 4 – Written In Silk
- 10 – Im Wesley

R6 – 9.03pm – ZAV AMUSEMENTS SERIOUS FUN PACE – 1609m
- 6 – Smoken Ace
- 1 – My Uncle Stan
- 3 – Repelling
- 8 – Captain Bellasario
Smoken Ace drops really nicely back in class and I’m tipping Herbie will bully his way to the top. From there, he looks very hard to beat.
BACK: 6 Smoken Ace – 3 units (win)
R7 – 9.33pm – HARAS DES TROTTEURS TROT – 2100m
- 5 – Link In Bio
- 4 – Kyvalleyhoneybunny
