Ryan Phelan has taken aim at tonight's 8-race program from Cranbourne harness. 

R1 – 5:12pm – Decron Pace - 1609m

9 – Bulldog Khan

3 – Deuce Coupe

8 – Can Be A Ruebe

4 – Wind Sock

Bulldog Khan looks well placed under Tasmyn Potter’s claim, dropping in grade after winning at Melton four starts ago when able to lead throughout. His efforts since have been sound from tough draws in stronger races, and the trailing gate here should keep him close enough to strike.

BACK: 9 Bulldog Khan – 2 Units (win)

R2 – 5:49pm – NZB Standardbred Pace – 2080m 

8 – Bona Khan

1 – Maywyns Jewel

9 – Capitalism

5 – Up And About

Bona Khan is well over the odds in early markets for a horse you can genuinely make a case for in an even contest. He races well at this track and maps to get a soft run, at worst three pegs. He caused a boilover from a similar run at Melton in April and is worth an each-way ticket.

BACK: 8 Bona Khan – 0.5 Units (win) 1.5 Units (place)

R3 – 6:26pm – Betavet Pace – 2080m 

1 – Shotinthedark

6 – Scherger That

7 – Ata Rangi

8 – Luna Dream

Shotinthedark has been a model of consistency across his 2YO and 3YO seasons. While he’s only recorded one win, he’s been competitive in stronger company and maps well here, with the early speed to either lead or take the trail. Jordan Leedham jumps aboard in strong form, which adds further appeal.

BACK: 1 Shotinthedark – 3 Units (win)

R4 – 7:03pm – Mark Gurry & Associates Pace – 2080m 

1 – Eye See Amour

2 – Glenline

4 – Bettes Blue Violet

8 – Salsawithsierra

R5 – 7:30pm – Aldebaran Park Trot – 2080m 

8 – Spirited Lass

2 – Scar

6 – Amartey

3 – Love Who

R6 – 8:00pm – Cranbourne Fencing Trot – 2080m 

1 – Fritsch

3 – Sky Flair

8 – Aldebaran Susanne

4 – Kota Bharu

Fritsch strips fitter second-up after showing promise in solid trials and running well last week when asked to do a bit mid-race against a handy type. He draws for a soft trip, and with the favourite Sky Flair short and proving unreliable late in races, there’s enough value here to have a crack.

BACK: 1 Fritsch – 3 Units (win)

R7 – 8:34pm – Blue Hills Rise Maiden Pace – 1609m 

4 – Princess Arna

2 – Give Fred A Clap

1 – My Guarantee

7 – Lord Myrmecia

R8 – 9:04pm – Hygain Maiden Pace – 1609m 

5 – Iloveacalendergirl

1 – The Postmaster

6 – BJ Robertson

4 – Talkbabytalk
