Cranbourne Race 6 - Blue Hills Rise Maiden Trot
HARPERSEVEN (4) made a good impression on debut a week-and-a-half ago over 1650m at Bendigo, finishing second and beaten just a head after taking charge of proceedings a fair way from home. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. ALDEBARAN AXL (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 25 metres at Geelong over 1609m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. APACHEVALLEY (6) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at Geelong last time out. DANCE WITH ROXY (3) is a three-year-old filly from the T Abela stable on debut. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Sure to prove very hard to beat.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at Geelong beaten 25 m by Chicago Craze (1:59.80) in MAIDEN on June 27 at $2.70. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 2080m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was leading 2.42 beaten 2.5 m by Kyvalley Jenny (2:43.50) in MAIDEN on June 15 at $1.50. Fitter and well-placed to make amends.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1680m at Terang was 6th-10 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Keayang Bazlenka (2:07.90) in MAIDEN on June 25 at $41. At the run before was well beaten after breaking at Melton on June 20. Better than the latest run and from a low draw gets his chance to bounce back.

Three-year-old filly by Rock N Roll Heaven out of Misschanel having her first start. Showed ability when third at Bacchus Marsh in a trial on June 28 over 1940m. Profiles nicely and is expected to measure up.

Two-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. At debut solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1650m after showing early pace at Bendigo was leading by 1.6 at the bell, beaten a head by Hallebesofine (2:04.70) in 2yo MAIDEN on June 25 at $4. Likely improver.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Sr2) over 2080m at this track, beaten 35 m by Scar (2:39.60) in NR up to 50 on June 29 at $71. Might need more time.
