Stars come out to play at Melton

The appearance of star pacers Catch A Wave (Captaintreacherous) and Ladies In Red (Mach Three) will kick-start an outstanding weekend of harness racing in Victoria, with wall-to-wall TrotsVision coverage planned across both Saturday and Sunday.

Catch A Wave, who produced a stunning performance for second behind Act Now in the Victoria Cup on October 14, will tackle a quality field of rivals in the Mimosa Homes Gammalite Free For All, while Ladies In Red is second-up from an injury-enforced lay-off in the Nutrien Angelique Club Pace.

The Gammalite has been positioned as race two on the Melton card to capture the attention of thoroughbred racing fans, who will have just witnessed the final events at Moonee Valley, Randwick and Doomben a short time earlier.

Ladies in Red and the field of mares will then complete the early Quaddie as race four on the card.

Rob Auber and Shannon O’Sullivan will guide you through Saturday night’s racing before Toby McKinnon and Kirsten Graham host the coverage of the Redwood Classic meeting at Maryborough on Sunday afternoon.

The iconic two-year-old squaregaiting feature and the Victoria Trotters Derby are the Group 1 events on the card, with McKinnon and Graham to chat with the key participants throughout the blockbuster 11-race card.

It’s a weekend of racing not to be missed and you can soak up every minute of the action at www.TrotsVision.com.au.
