Cranbourne Race 2 - Nzb Standardbred Pace
LADY IN LINE (4) resumes from a spell of eight months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1609m at this track. Sure to be right there at the finish. MIDNITE DESIRE (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in fourth over 2240m at Melton. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. INEXORABLE (8) is in the mix at her first run since finishing fourth over 1609m at this track five-and-a-half months ago. ICANMOTOR (7) resumes from a spell. Last appeared when a modest tenth over 1690m at Kilmore three-and-a-half months ago.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr5) over 1690m at Shepparton was 8th-17.16 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Major Maurie (2:03.10) in NR 41 to 44 on March 17 at $12. Two runs back 6th (Sr2) over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 11 m by Springfield Desire (2:07.70) in NR 40 to 41 on January 16 at $11. This looks far too tough.
