Cranbourne Race 7 - Mark Gurry & Associates Pace

ROYAL CADENCE (5) was once again right in the mix last time out when runner-up over 1755m at Echuca, beaten 2 metres. She is in a purple patch of form and is the one to beat. ILLAWONG PHOENIX (1) finished third last start, beaten 11 metres at Shepparton over 1690m. Expected to run well. OH NO NEVER AGAIN (8) is better than his first-up eighth over 2180m at Kilmore a week-and-a-half ago. CHANSU (3) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 2240m at Melton two runs back. Stick with him.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Iamawingate at Geelong over 1609m in a NR up to 39 on January 31 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Highview Hammer at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR up to 42 on February 11 at $3.40. Will be right in the thick of things.

Returns to racing after a spell of eight months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course when ninth at very big odds behind Kardesler. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
