Cranbourne Race 7 - Aldebaran Park Trot
AT THE DISTANCE (2) comes here just three days after scoring by a neck over 1710m at Ballarat. Has the benefit of a good draw. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SPIRITED LASS (8) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 2080m at this track. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Will have plenty of admirers. MISTA WALKER (5) is flying at present with three successive wins to his name, most recently at Warragul six days ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. SHAQ THE ANVIL (3) did a good job to finish in the minor placings two runs back then things went sour last time when he broke and finished a long way back in tenth over 1690m at Kilmore. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Beautifully placed and is able to make amends.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Sr2) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 21 m by Allwatfunjingles (2:09.80) on June 4 at $3. Before that 4th (Sr3) over 2200m at Ballarat, at the bell was 6th-9.71 beaten 14 m by Calabasas (2:45.30) in M on May 28 at $71. Hard to have.

Last start 10th (Fr2) over 1690m after showing early pace at Kilmore, well beaten by Te Amo (2:10.30) on June 4 at $8.50. At his previous start solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 2 m by Sammy Haller (2:50.00) on May 21 at $10. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Best form puts him right in this.

Last start 5th (Sr1) over 1609m at Geelong was 4th-4.9 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Shezalover (2:01.40) on June 5 at $14. At the run before 7th (10m Fr2) over 2180m at Terang, at the bell was leading 0.1 beaten 16 m by Sister Molly (2:52.00) on May 18 at $10. Big chance based on that latest run.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 17 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Warragul (2:15.60) beating Tension Seeker in on June 8 at $1.75 at the bell was 2nd-3.4. Two runs back raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 3 m (10m Fr1) at this track (2:42.20) beating Kyvalley Misty in on May 24 at $8 at the bell was 2nd-4.1. Major player again.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Artigas at Maryborough over 1690m on May 31 at $101. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind At The Distance at Ballarat over 1710m on June 11 at $19. Expected to go well again.
