Ryan Phelan has outlined his selections and suggested game plan for tonight’s 8-race card at Cranbourne.
R1 – 5:22pm – Decron Pace – 2080m
12 – Beach Hopper
8 – Mistie Reign
5 – Roylance
6 – City Rockstar
Beach Hopper drops back in class sharply here; he’s been racing in stronger grade at Melton without any luck. There looks to be good speed off the front row and despite the awkward draw can either sit tough or come with one run at good odds.
BACK: 12 Beach Hopper – 2 Units (win)
R2 – 5:55pm – Lather Up Standing @ Woodlands Stud Pace – 2080m
1 – Haveyoumetted
5 – Shoobees Spirit
7 – Coastal Drive
2 – Park Lane
We tipped Haveyoumetted last week and quite simply had to work too hard in the run. His form prior was good and he gets the options here to either hunt up and hold the lead or take a sit and use the sprint lane.
BACK: 1 Haveyoumetted – 3 Units (win)
R3 – 6:25pm – Aldebaran Park Trot – 2080m
8 – Illawong Larajay
1 – McGee
2 – Aldebaran Brooke
3 – Creatable
Illawong Larajay worked hard off the track last start at Melton and was terrific on the clock. Has been freshened with two trials since. Gets the soft run on the leaders back and main danger here McGee to strike late on the sprint lane.
BACK: 8 Illawong Larajay – 2 Units (win)
R4 – 6:55pm – Hygain Pace – 1609m
3 – The Roan Ranger
4 – Foregone Conclusion
1 – Elysian Palace
9 – Groom
R5 – 7:27pm – Blue Hills Rise Trot – 1609m
5 – Avant Guard
7 – Mojito Madness
2 – Silent Reverie
1 – Suga Daddy
R6 – 7:55pm – Hip Pocket Workwear & Safety Mornington Trot – 2080m
3 – Ewing
4 – Pizza Prince
1 – In Redwhiteandblue
7 – Spirited Lass
Ewing didn’t have any luck last week at this track when caught wide early and was never in it. This race sets up differently and I’m expecting him to get an easy lead, and the opposition doesn’t look as strong as what he’s faced previously.
BACK: 3 Ewing – 3 Units (win)
R7 – 8:25pm – Mark Gurry & Associates Pace – 1609m
2 – Hair Razor
1 – Tex Goes Bang
3 – Pickle It
5 – Bettor Than Most
R8 – 8:56pm – Cranbourne Fencing Trot – 2080m
2 – Against The Bridle
3 – Myrtle Vale
5 – Mont Sally
1 – Mista Walker
