Cranbourne Race 8 - Cranbourne Fencing Maiden Pace
OUR PINUP GIRL (4) finished 5.5 metres from the winner in third at Geelong over 2100m last start at her first career run. That debut effort is good enough to put her right in the finish. LOOKING FROM ABOVE (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in third over 1690m at Kilmore. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. A ROCKN NIGHTMARE (7) is a three-year-old filly from the Freddy Taiba stable on debut. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Trial winner who looks above average and any push in betting will add to the confidence. SASSYS BOY (1) is a four-year-old entire by American Ideal from Born Again Sassy on debut. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has strong trial form coming into this and is likely to attract plenty of interest from punters.

Returns to racing after a spell of 11 months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when tenth at very long odds behind Dancingonstarlight. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Kualight at Boort over 2250m in a MAIDEN on March 1 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Frosty Drop at Kilmore over 1690m in a MAIDEN on March 12 at $11. Solid top-three prospects again.

Three-year-old filly by A Rocknroll Dance out of Ghadastar having her first start. Showed ability when she won at Bacchus Marsh in a trial on March 28 over 1940m. Boasts strong trial form and is expected to measure up.
