Cranbourne Race 2 - Vhrc / Mark Gurry & Associates Pace
DOT BALL (8) won at this track two runs ago before having her colours lowered at her latest appearance over 1720m at Melton, beaten 6 metres. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Tackles a similar assignment and she can turn in a much better performance. THE REGULATOR (6) finished third last start, beaten 5 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of winning. FINAL BOW (11) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 2180m at Kilmore a week-and-a-half ago. BOND GIRL (10) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her finish second over 2190m at Mildura.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Queenhigh Flush at Kilmore over 2180m on July 8 at $3.40. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 1650m after showing early speed at Bendigo was leading by 1.5 at the bell, beaten a nose by Hurricane Hooly (2:00.70) on July 1 at $3.60. Big chance to atone.
