Cranbourne Race 3 - Aldebaran Park Trot
KITTY CASH (1) added to her recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 13 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. SEBASTIANS WAITING (7) was out of the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished a distant last over 1720m at Melton. Has to contend with a very wide draw. This doesn't look as hard so he can bounce back. THATS MY CARDIGAN (4) won two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished a distant sixth over 2080m at this track. Can't make any mistakes against this field but he is right in the mix. SAMMY HALLER (5) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1720m at Melton last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Call Me Jack at this track over 2080m on July 19 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Fritsch at Shepparton over 2190m on July 28 at $2. One of the primary contenders.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr2) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 70 m by Jack Sprat (2:47.40) on July 24 at $71. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr5) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 30 m by Aldebaran Susanne (2:03.90) on July 8 at $101. Must do a lot more.

Solid performance when a close second behind Thats My Cardigan at this track over 2080m on July 5 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Call Me Jack at this track over 2080m on July 19 at $8.50. Will make his presence felt.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr7) over 2080m after showing early speed at this track was leading by 1.4 at the bell, beaten 90 m by Call Me Jack (2:39.10) on July 19 at $5.50. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:37.00) beating Sovereign Tiger in on July 5 at $8.50 at the bell was leading 4.5. Capable of taking this out.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Farrokh at Kilmore over 2180m on July 16 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Keayang Gypsy at Melton over 1720m on July 25 at $23. Rates highly. Should be there at the business end.

Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr2) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 75 m by Keayang Gypsy (2:08.70) on July 25 at $4.60. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 40 m by Malibuu (1:56.00) in G2 on July 4 at $2.50. Likely improver who is worth including.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr6) over 2180m after showing early speed at Kilmore beaten 11 m by Farrokh (2:46.80) on July 16 at $17. Two runs back then did a good job to finish in the money over 2240m at Melton last start. Might find this a bit tough.
