Ryan Phelan has your tips, strategy and quaddie for Sunday afternoon harness racing from Cranbourne.
R1 – 1:14pm – Blue Hills Rise Cash Splash Maiden Trot – 2080m
7 – Aldebraran Axl
4 – Kyvalley Joyride
2 – Farstar
1 – Heart Of Graceland
R2 – 1:49pm – Woodlands Stud Cash Splash Pace – 1609m
4 – Lambro Mach
6 – Major Manbar
7 – The Villian
8 – Starlight Sass
Lambro Mach may have tested punters’ patience, but he’s been running strong times and bumping into one or two better. This is a clear drop in grade, and from the draw he looks the leader over the sprint trip. With a smart trainer/driver combo, Lambro Mach ticks plenty of boxes.
BACK: 4 Lambro Mach – 4 Units (win)
R3 – 2:24pm – Cranbourne Fencing Cash Splash Trot – 1609m
9 – Tough Mate
7 – Kota Bharu
3 – Franc
4 – Joe Lou
Tough Mate is a well-related 3yo who started favourite on debut, did plenty wrong, yet still proved far too good. With upside on his side against exposed rivals, this looks another winnable race if he keeps his manners in check.
BACK: 9 Tough Mate – 3 Units (win)
R4 – 2:59pm – Decron Horse Care Pace – 1609m
3 – Villarock
7 – Tappy
8 – Rakarompa
4 – Harley Lane
Villarock has been racing consistently this prep and gets a very suitable assignment. Possessing good gate speed, a liking for Cranbourne, and experience against stronger fields, he looks a solid chance to give a great sight at nice odds.
BACK: 3 Villarock – 1 Unit (win)
R5 – 3:34pm – WWW.KRUZEY.COM.AU Pace (2nd Heat) – 1609m
2 – Final Bow
4 – Precious Belle
5 – Dancingonstarlight
8 – Caruso Star
R6 – 4:09pm – Hygain Cash Splash Vicbred Voucher Trot – 2080m
9 – The Sky Is The Limit
6 – Freight Shaker
1 – Keayang Brandy
8 – Maestro
The Sky Is The Limit is an honest mare who rarely runs poorly and comes up at big odds here after tackling stronger company. A sit-and-sprint type who thrives off a genuine tempo, she appeals as a value play with Hall Of Fame reinsman John Caldow in the cart.
BACK: 9 The Sky Is The Limit – 1 Units (win) 1 Units (place)
