Cranbourne Race 8 - Cranbourne Fencing Pace

ALPHA CRUCIS (2) won at Shepparton two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 7 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he can give this a real shake. BLACKMIRRA (6) turned in an out-of-character effort most recently when 11 metres away in sixth over 1690m at Shepparton. Form prior to that had been solid. This doesn't look as hard so she is in the right race to return to form. KARDESLER (3) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track four weeks ago. OCEANIQUE (4) last appeared when third over 1609m at this track four-and-a-half months ago. Must be respected so include in all combinations to be safe.
