Cranbourne Race 5 - Hygain Pace

RUEBE STARBUCK (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. BETTORPATCHMEUP (8) produced a better effort last start when he scored by 1.5 metres over 1790m at Warragul. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. IM A DENNY TOO (3) finished eighth last start over 2150m at Bendigo a month ago. This is a nice assignment and a top-three finish looks on the cards. ROCKAWAY BEACH (2) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 2030m at Gunbower two weeks ago.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 35 m by Nothingbutwaves (1:54.70) in NR 50 to 55 on December 15 at $41. Before that 7th (Fr1) over 2180m after showing early speed at Kilmore was 4th-7.8 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Remi Lou (2:42.10) in NR 56 to 62 on December 12 at $41. This looks too tough.

Resumes today. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by a nose (Sr4) at this track (2:40.30) beating Rocknroll Upton in 4yo+ on May 15 2022 at $7. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Last start 9th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early pace at Melton, beaten 21 m by Maas Betting Again (2:03.40) in NR 50 to 55 on December 13 at $18. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 2080m at this track, at the bell was 7th-13.8m 2WWC beaten 2.5 m by Bona Khan (2:34.90) in NR 50 to 55 on November 17 at $14. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.

Last start won on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 m (Fr6) at Warragul (2:12.70) beating Bacchanalian in NR up to 49 on December 9 at $3.80 at the bell was 2nd-1.2. Great chance to make it two in a row.
