Cranbourne Race 1 - Dual Code Good Friday - 18 April Pace
SINBAD SASSY (2) has not raced for three-and-a-half months. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Sure to be right there at the finish. KEAYANG PAYTON (9) finished fifth last start over 1680m at Terang, beaten 8 metres, after a good win at Mt Gambier the run prior. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to take out a race like this. VILLAROCK (3) is worth another chance after a last-start 12th over 2190m at Maryborough a week-and-a-half ago. NETRA (4) disappointed last time out over 2200m at Ballarat. Can do a lot better so worth considering on an each-way basis.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 12th (Fr4) over 1690m after being wide early at Maryborough beaten 25 m by Our True Colours (2:01.30) in NR 40 to 45 on February 12 at $151. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 2080m after showing early pace at this track was 5th-8.8m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Roblen Ranger (2:36.30) in 4yo+ 0-2 WINS on January 12 at $101. Others read better. Cannot enthuse.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Im Wesley at this track over 1609m in a NR 50 to 55 on January 26 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Silver Mystique at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 50 to 55 on February 6 at $11. Should be in the finish again.
