• Ryan Phelan
Ryan Phelan breaks down the form for Sunday’s Shepparton meeting and shares his betting strategy and quaddies. Race 1 OVERVIEW: ISTANBUL (9) is having his first start for the new stable and has trialled quite well into this. In that hit-out he scored up and trotted well, and the opposition has produced an easy winner at this track last week. If those manners are on display, he’s the one to beat. SAMBEZIA (1) has a strong SP profile but is his own worst enemy, breaking in the majority of his four runs this preparation, resulting in him being stood down to trial. His…

Ryan Phelan breaks down the form for Tuesday night’s Shepparton meeting and shares his betting strategy and quaddies. Race 1 OVERVIEW: THERESHEWAS (3) was backed off the map for the new in-form stable last start, and it’s fair to say she was a good thing beaten, never clear in the home straight. I liked the versatility she showed there, and this barrier seems advantageous to get a better map this time. This looks a good race to get her first Victorian win. ELIZAJANE (4) is a fast beginner and went close last time when able to map well behind the speed. This race looks a more suitable option for her…

Cranbourne stages a seven-race harness racing program on Sunday. Ryan Phelan delivers his race-by-race preview, tips and quaddies. Race 1 SELECTIONS: MIDNITE DESIRE (3), BLISSFULL LILLY (4), REASON TO LAUGH (7), RIVER PATROL (2)   OVERVIEW: MIDNITE DESIRE (3) is yet to win in nine attempts this season, but his recent performances suggest he’s trending towards the winner’s stall. He was forced to work hard out of the gate and crossed last time, and if he got the desired spot would have won. This map may work out better for him and if he gets control is the one to beat.BLISSFULL LILLY (4) maps…

Cranbourne stages a six-race harness racing program on Sunday. Ryan Phelan delivers his race-by-race preview, tips and quaddies. Race 1 SELECTIONS: GOODTIME CAPTAIN (3), IM WESLEY (5), THE VILLIAN (8), BINALONG NIGHT (6)   OVERVIEW: GOODTIME CAPTAIN (3) resumes here following a solid 3yo season where he showed nice ability. He hasn’t had much go right in his two runs at this track, he’s trialled well into this and does possess good gate speed to race in a forward position. IM WESLEY (5) has been in consistent form without winning lately and often races up on speed and will give a great sight, it…

Cranbourne stages a seven-race harness racing program on Sunday. Ryan Phelan delivers his race-by-race preview, tips and quaddies. Race 1 FREAK OUT (3) went close to winning at Melton two runs ago and the form out of that race has stood up well, with both the winner and third placegetter winning since. He can show speed from this draw and, back to a track that suits on-pace runners, he will take catching. FEEL THE BUZZ (4) comes through similar form lines and has been solid, maps well from the draw and has claims. PICKLE IT (9) goes well at this track and can punch through…

Ryan Phelan has done the form for Tuesday night’s Shepparton meeting. Race 1 OVERVIEW: IFYOULOVEMELETMEGO (7) is having her third run for the new stable and there are encouraging signs she’s heading in the right direction. Her win last time, albeit against a weaker field than this, was very good running fast time and winning by a space. There’s speed to her inside, but if she can work her way into a good position, she will be hard to beat.  SHEZABLUECHIP (5) will look to race on pace, and the stable is going well at the moment. WINGATE GUY (10) was a good winner last start at Hamilton from a similar backrow…

Ryan Phelan has done the form and has your tips, strategy and quaddie for Hamilton Cup Day. Race 1 Plenty of question marks here with the powerful Lee stable engaged, including CRUSHER CLYDE (8) who is having his first start since arriving from NZ. He’s had one trial where he got things wrong, as did stablemate KEAYANG MINNESOTA (3), who has been well supported at his past two starts but hasn’t brought his manners. Both clearly need to be respected on raw ability and stable scope. SONARMI JOH (7) and ALDEBARAN ANTON (6) are more reliable and come through similar form lines, so this could be a battle of ability versus…

Ryan Phelan has done the form for 8-races from Shepparton Tuesday night.  R1 – 6:04pm – Wager Wednesday SHRC Facebook Pace – 1690m  5 – Interpretation  11 – Wazowski  3 – My Lady Sarah  13 – Inside Leg  Strategy:  Interpretation has been racing up in grade at his past few starts and now finds a far more suitable set-up. He was badly checked around the 400m last time when travelling well, and his mile record is solid. With early gate speed and a genuine tempo expected, he’s worth an each-way play at value.  BACK: 5 Interpretation – 1 Unit (win) / 1 Unit (place)  R2 – 6:30pm – 1260AM SEN Goulbourn Valley Maiden Pace – 1690m    5 – Hezaflashone  12 – Whatta Ya Up Taa  2 – Hello Possums  6 – Seventh Immortal  R3 – 7:03pm…

Ryan Phelan has done the form for tonight’s 7-race card from Cranbourne. R1 – 6:04pm – Kruezy Pace – 1609m  5 – Harley Lane  9 – Rockin Gemma  2 – Auckland Red  3 – City Rockstar  Strategy:  Harley Lane is a talented 3yo filly who has been racing well against the elite of her age division and showed just how much she relished the class drop with a strong win last start. The map isn’t completely straightforward, but if she can find a reasonable position early, she looks clearly the one to beat.  BACK: 5 Harley Lane – 2 Units (win)  R2 – 6:42pm – NZB Standardbred Pace – 2080m    2 – Rolinginthedeep  8 – Bella Louise  4 – Jilliby Selwood  5 – Im Wesley  R3 – 7:20pm – Cranbourne Fencing Pace – 1609m    3 – Admiralofthefleet  4 – Blackmirra  8 – Final…
