Cranbourne Race 2 - Betavet Vicbred Voucher Pace
MOST EXCITING (4) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 2150m at Bendigo. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. JUST INCREDIBLE (2) was 2.5 metres away in third at this track over 2080m last start at his first run back from a spell. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Must raise the bar but a win is on the cards. IMAGINATION ORO (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1660m at Hamilton. IM WESLEY (5) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at Bendigo over 1650m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing sixth behind Popcornfriday at Melton over 1720m in a 0W/15 0K stake on March 28 at $71. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Keayang Sweetheart at Bendigo over 1650m in a 2-3 WINS on April 8 at $23. With even luck is a winning chance.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 2080m at this track was 4th-4.6 at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by Evileye (2:33.70) in NR 50 to 55 on April 3 at $4.60. Fitter and should play a big role.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr3) over 1650m after showing early pace at Bendigo was 5th-8.55 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Keayang Renegade (1:55.80) in 0W/15 0K stake on April 8 at $18. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (1:58.80) beating The Villain in NR 47 to 52 on March 29 at $1.75 at the bell was leading 1.4. Use the win two back as a guide to his prospects.
