Cranbourne Race 4 - Decron Trot
DESERT ROYALE (4) finally broke the ice last start when he found the lead and did well to go on and score by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. KITTY CASH (6) galloped last start and finished a distant last when resuming in a 2100m event at Geelong two-and-a-half weeks ago. Only needs to get things right to be in contention. THATS MY CARDIGAN (8) is better than his last-start seventh over 2080m at this track. Each-way chance. ZIPPING VOLSTEAD (2) could only finish ninth over 1690m at Maryborough most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Last start 9th (Fr4) over 1690m after showing early pace at Maryborough was leading by 1 at the bell, beaten 35 m by Ai Sedhai (2:06.10) on May 11 at $17. At the start before was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 30 m by Night Flight (2:01.80) on April 17 at $21. Capable of more than she has shown recently. A better run is on the cards.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Night Flight at Geelong over 2100m on May 8 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Mista Walker at this track over 1609m on May 17 at $15. Well-placed and can improve sharply.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 2100m after racing wide at Geelong beaten 80 m by Kennys Son (2:40.20) in 4yo+ on May 8 at $13. Two runs back 7th (Sr4) over 2240m at Melton was 9th-15.67 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Spanish Rizardo (2:51.50) on April 15 at $12. Not keen on her chances in this field.
