Cranbourne Race 5 - Decron Cohesive Bandage Trot
KYVALLEY DIXON (4) was without a win before displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 18 metres over 1609m at Geelong two-and-a-half weeks ago. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. MISTA WALKER (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 20 metres at Melton over 2240m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. AGAINST THE BRIDLE (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1720m at Melton. Should run a big race. MAJESTIC CHARMA (6) was out of the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when she broke and finished a distant seventh over 2190m at Shepparton. Facing a tougher assignment but a big run is possible if her race manners improve.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Spirited Lass at this track over 1609m on June 14 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Jessicas Story at Melton over 1720m on June 26 at $11. Top chance in this line-up.

Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track was 2nd-4.5 at the bell, beaten a head by Spirited Lass (2:00.30) on June 14 at $3.50. Capable of playing a major role.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 2190m at Shepparton, well beaten by Jilliby Topgun (2:47.60) on June 23 at $1.60. At her previous start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 40 m by Manda Kyvalley (2:49.00) in M on June 12 at $2.30. No surprise if she turned things around.
