Cranbourne Race 8 - Hygain Summer Cash Splash Dash
NORMS LADY (6) ran fifth last start at Melton over 1720m, beaten 17 metres. This doesn't look as hard so she is a major player. CLEAR LEFT NZ (4) found a spot near the tail of the field off the second line and couldn't come into contention when 11th last start over 1609m at Charlton. Finds a tougher race but a return to form is not out of the question. HITTHEROADJACK NZ (7) last appeared when fourth over 1720m at Melton three months ago. Look out for any positive market movement. DEUCE COUPE NZ (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2240m at Melton.

Backs up a couple of days after he failed to impress 9th (Sr2) over 1755m at Echuca, beaten 13 m by Specta (2:07.60) in NR up to 55 on January 1 at $19. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 1670m after being wide early at Cobram, beaten 24 m by Skyfall Benchmark (1:58.60) in NR up to 55 on December 28 at $13. Not keen.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind The Bride at Melton over 1720m in a NR up to 85 M on December 20 at $13. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 3 m by Seaside Delight (2:03.60) in NR up to 60 on December 12 at $6. Great chance to bounce back.
