GOING: G

Ladbrokes Cranbourne Cup Saturday 23 November BM64 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25).  

Pace strong from La Petite Angele going forward with Guerrera kicking up to hold the fence. KING WEST (8) is a nicely bred 3yo who has raced twice to date, solid on debut at Moe before a narrow maiden win here last time out over 1200m. Takes on a few handy types but can measure up. BIFROST (1) was just fair last start at Caulfield but that was in a good race and the win prior at Geelong was solid. Suited here and can bounce back. LA PETITE ANGELE (4) was okay fresh off a long spell at Seymour, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Fitter for that and can improve. FLYING CONCELLO (3) won two back at Ballarat Synthetic and was solid last time. In the mix. GUERRERA (6) could be an improve third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: King West to win.

Useful gelding. Returns from a 33-day let-up. Most recently 7th of 13 at Caulfield Bm74 on August 17 over 1100m, 4 len behind Beast Mode carrying 58kg at $26. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Geelong Bm64 July 26 over 1247m on a rain affected track defeating Bellalique with 61kg at $4. Better suited back to this grade.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 10 at Moe Mdn-Sw on August 18 over 1017m, slow going 2 len behind Chinqui with 57kg at $1.80. Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a long-neck at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw September 5 over 1200m defeating Reina Isabella carrying 58kg at $2.30. Has upside and should measure up strongly.
