GOING: S

Cranbourne Cup 15/10/17 (Bm70) 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.54).  

Raiza Flame can lead Canelo coming across and the pace should be honest with a big field behind them. Canelo and Raiza Flame should be on the speed, Port Triano and Sword Of Justice also have some early pace. Evenly run race. RAIZA FLAME is in rare form at the moment and was a dominant winner last time out. Looks no harder here and shapes as the one to beat. AJANI is well worth keeping safe. Sydney form is handy enough for a race like this and is well drawn. Watch betting. SNEAKERS is a little under rated and she's more than capable of a big fresh effort as she showed last time in. Will be hitting the line strongly. Each-way claims to the likes of Caprese, Canelo, Fierce Command and Port Triano. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sneakers to win again fresh.
