Cranbourne Race 1 - Cranbourne Fencing Pace
MIKISPUR (8) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Went back last start then worked home in good style to finish 6 metres from the winner in second at this track over 1609m. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Meets a comparable field, and he can take care of this line-up. LADY DELORIS (10) scored at Penrith two runs ago before having her colours lowered when sixth at her latest appearance over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 21 metres. Hard to know where she gets from this slightly awkward draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. BLACKINDEED (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Geelong. ANIMADO (2) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 1.2 metres into third at Shepparton.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Humour Me at Melton over 2240m in a NR up to 55 on August 2 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Caledonian Terra at Geelong over 1609m in a NR 43 to 48 on August 15 at $1.20. Can take this out.

Last start 10th (Sr2) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 15 m by War Western (1:58.00) in NR up to 47 on August 8 at $10. At the run before 7th (Sr1) over 2125m at Penrith, beaten 40 m by Sinaloa (2:33.30) in NR up to 53 on July 17 at $41. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Gets a chance to show his best from a nice draw.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed at Geelong was 2nd-2.75 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Keayang Shadowbox (1:56.80) in NR 49 to 53 on August 15 at $6. Before that 8th (Sr5) over 2240m at Melton beaten 11 m by Major Crunch (2:44.60) in NR 49 to 54 on August 8 at $34. This looks a far sterner task.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr1) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 21 m by Spitfire (2:03.50) in NR up to 47 on August 7 at $11. Showed ability the race before when she won by 3 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Penrith (2:38.10) beating Vespa Stride in NR up to 45 on July 31 at $1.75 at the bell was leading 2.96. Can improve without surprising.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Humour Me at Melton over 2240m in a NR up to 55 on August 2 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after being driven well back, after showing early speed, behind Mikispur at this track over 2080m in a NR up to 55 on August 10 at $2.90. Big chance to go one better.
