Cranbourne Race 3 - Worlds Best Hoof Oil Pace
KISS ME MINI NZ (6) scored last time out by 3 metres at Melton over 2240m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. BULLETPROOF KID (4) settled close to the pace but didn't find enough in the end and could only manage third last start over 2240m at Melton, that effort coming after a win at Newcastle the run before. Meets a comparable field and he can get the job done. MIKISPUR (1) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 2240m at Melton three weeks ago. PISTOL PEARCE (2) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at Melton over 2240m.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr4) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton beaten 25 m by Ravishing Ruby (2:43.20) in NR up to 57 on March 7 at $31. The run before surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr2) over 2080m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 30 m by Wild Card (2:30.50) in NR 54 to 59 on February 22 at $26. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 22 m by Heatseeker (2:42.40) in NR 58 to 67 on March 19 at $14. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.75 m (Fr7) at Shepparton (2:01.80) beating Caties Son in NR 50 to 55 on March 8 at $6. Major player on best form.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr1) over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 23 m by Heatseeker (2:42.40) in NR 58 to 67 on March 19 at $51. Before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr4) over 2240m at Melton beaten 11 m by Le Belle Bijoux (2:43.50) in NR up to 80 M on March 14 at $34. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
