Cranbourne Race 8 - Blue Hills Rise Mdn Trot
HES RUNAWAY BAY (7) settled handy then drove to the lead and dug deep only to finish a very close second last start over 2200m at Horsham. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Primary contender based on that recent effort. GYM QUEEN (1) finished third at this track two starts back then was competitive again at her latest appearance over 2100m at Geelong, beaten 14 metres into third after being up on the pace. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field so she can add to the impressive recent efforts. MI BOW (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Bendigo over 2150m. Genuine threat. LARAS DREAM (2) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 2150m at Bendigo last time out.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Desert Royale at this track over 1609m on May 17 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Remembrance Time at Geelong over 2100m on June 5 at $11. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Last start 6th (Fr7) over 2150m after racing wide at Bendigo, beaten 25 m by Matisoff (2:44.90) on June 3 at $26. At his previous start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 22 m by Aldebaran Emjay (2:01.50) on May 22 at $15. Certainly worth another chance.

Five-year-old mare facing the starter for the second time. At debut was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 2080m at this track was 4th-5.9 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Whiskey Dawn (2:43.80) on May 24 at $9. Top-three hope with improvement likely.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Whiskey Dawn at this track over 2080m on May 24 at $2.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Matisoff at Bendigo over 2150m on June 3 at $5. Shapes as one to consider.
