Cranbourne Race 4 - Decron Maxiwrap Elastic Bandage Pace

DOT BALL (2) ran third last start at Bendigo over 1650m, beaten 5.5 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field so she will be hard to beat. CHASING THE WIND (3) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and he can grab that well-deserved win. THE REGULATOR (5) is better than his last-start ninth over 2190m at Mildura. REASON TO LAUGH (4) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 2190m at Maryborough last time out.

Last start was well beaten into ninth behind Megawatts at Mildura over 2190m on June 26 at $6. Raced better the start before that where he ran on strong from last on the turn and won by a head (Sr2) at Charlton (1:58.50) beating Atomic Glory in on June 15 at $4.20 at the bell was 11th-14.8. From a decent drawn is expected to do better this time.
