Cranbourne Race 3 - Nzb Standardbred Maiden Pace
ILLUMINATE ME (7) finished sixth last start over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 18 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2240m at Melton. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. ARZALI ROCKSTAR (5) is a three-year-old filly by Yankee Rockstar from Sheluvsme on debut. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Capable of taking this out. HART OF CYPRUS (3) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 2200m at Ballarat. WEONA OUR RIGHTS (1) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1690m at Kilmore on February 12.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1690m at Kilmore, at the bell was 3rd-4.8 beaten 15 m by Pricilla (2:03.30) in 3yo MAIDEN on February 12 at $101. At his previous start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr4) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton beaten 16 m by American Michi (2:47.80) in MAIDEN on January 30 at $10. Strips fitter and from the pegs gets his chance to impress.

Has struggled of late. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 2200m after showing early pace at Ballarat was 4th-5.52 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Like A Gazelle (2:43.40) in MAIDEN M on February 5 at $6. The run prior 5th (Fr6) over 2240m after being wide early at Melton, beaten 14 m by American Michi (2:47.80) in MAIDEN on January 30 at $34. Worth another chance. Better than last start and can improve sharply.
