Cranbourne Race 1 - Mark Gurry & Associates Pace
IM WESLEY (5) is racing well with 12 top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Melton over 1720m. Finds a suitable assignment and will prove very tough to beat once more. HELLO POSSUMS (6) made it two wins and a minor placing from her last three starts when she scored by 2 metres on June 2 over 1690m at Shepparton. Finds a tougher race but another win is not out of the question. PISTOL PEARCE (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1720m at Melton. Can make amends. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (7) disappointed last time when eighth over 1720m at Melton. Can do a lot better so is worth considering.

Last start 7th (Sr3) over 1790m at Warragul beaten 20 m by Longtan Viper (2:09.10) on June 8 at $8.50.

Deserves another chance.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 2 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Shepparton (2:04.50) beating The King Oftheroad in on June 2 at $16. Sure to be there at the business end.

Solid performance when a close third after a quick start, behind Herakles at Shepparton over 2190m on June 2 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Tivoli at Bendigo over 2150m on June 3 at $4.40. Rates highly. One of the better chances.
