Cranbourne Race 6 - Blue Hills Rise Trot

SPIRITED LASS (6) finished fourth last start, beaten 9 metres at Melton over 2240m. Meets a comparable field so she is capable of getting the job done. WHATS THE TEA (2) comes here after making a move a long way from home and getting up to score by 1.75 metres at his latest appearance over 1720m at Melton. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. AGAINST THE BRIDLE (1) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 2190m at Maryborough last time out. RIGHT OF REPLY (3) is in the mix at his first run since finishing third over 2080m at this track five-and-a-half months ago.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Poppy Popstar at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 40 to 45 on March 11 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Poppy Popstar at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR up to 44 on March 16 at $4. Great chance to take this out from a more favourable gate.

Eight-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Melton and Maryborough. Last start won by 1.75 m when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at Melton (2:08.60) beating Jessicas Story in NR up to 42 on March 20 at $3.30 at the bell was 2nd-4.28. Very hard to beat.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Mont Sally at this track over 2080m in a NR up to 50 on October 12 at $8. One of the better chances.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr1) over 2150m at Bendigo, at the bell was 7th-15.33 beaten 9 m by Deep Love (2:41.30) in NR 46 to 51 on March 11 at $41. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 2150m after racing wide at Bendigo beaten 70 m by Noble Count (2:42.10) in NR 48 to 52 on March 4 at $151. This looks a far sterner task.

Comes here second-up after a month. Lacklustre first-up performance when 5th (Sr2) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 35 m by Buslin Brody (2:46.20) in NR up to 49 on February 26 at $41. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
