Cranbourne Race 2 - Woodlands Stud Pace
SOLS ME NAME (5) made an impressive return last start when a commanding winner over 2180m at Kilmore on May 7, getting home by 6 metres. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. STARZINHEREYES (6) finished second at Globe Derby Park two starts back then was competitive again at her latest appearance over 2040m at Ouyen, beaten 2.5 metres into third after being up on the pace. Primary contender in a similar race. WILD CARD NZ (7) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 2240m at Melton last time out. Worth considering. SCHERGER THAT (8) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1710m at Ballarat.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Leavemeout (1:54.20) on May 17 at $151. Not enthused.

Resumed from a 173-day break with a strong win by 6 m as favourite (Sr1) at Kilmore (2:40.90) beating Alot Like Jeannie in on May 7 at $2.10. Sure to be further improved and should pay to follow.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.5 m third behind Rocknroll Willow at Ouyen over 2040m last start. Before that was beaten a neck second at Globe Derby Park over 1800m same class on May 2. Continues to race well and is a leading player again.
