Cranbourne Race 1 - Mark Gurry & Associates Pace
BELLA LOUISE (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in fourth over 1720m at Melton. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Big chance based on recent form. BJ ROBERTSON NZ (6) had to call on all reserves to salute last start over 2030m at Gunbower, getting home by just a nose. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. I AM ON THERUN (8) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fifth at Cobram over 1670m. Must be included. COLORADO GIRL (5) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 1609m at Geelong two runs back.

Failed to impress last start; 12th (Sr2) over 1609m at Charlton beaten 40 m by Rocky Rocks (1:54.50) in 0-1 WIN on December 29 at $41. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 1.1 m after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Geelong (1:59.00) beating Normans Girl in 3yo+ MAIDEN on December 19 at $5.50 at the bell was leading 1.08. Will be in the finish if she finds her best.

Two-year-old colt who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr3) over 1670m at Cobram was 7th-13.4 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Intrusion (2:) in NR up to 55 on December 28 at $6.50. Useful type who is not out of this despite the second-row draw. Encouraging effort last start and is open to further improvement.
