Cranbourne Race 7 - Hygain Pace
TOMMYS LOOKOUT (5) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 12 metres into sixth at Shepparton over 1690m. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of a much better performance. DOT BALL (6) ran fifth last start at Shepparton over 1690m, beaten 10 metres. Expecting a very good run. QUICK CRUNCH (10) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished third at Ballarat over 2200m. FINAL BOW (4) could only finish eighth over 2080m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Last start failed to finish when he ran at Ballarat on July 29 over 2200m. Two runs back 6th (Fr2) over 1690m at Shepparton, at the bell was 2nd-2.32 beaten 15 m by Iamawingate (2:04.00) on July 21 at $23. Prefer to see him perform well before recommending.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Fr2) over 2080m at this track, beaten 65 m by The Regulator (2:35.10) on July 19 at $81. Before that 8th (Fr5) over 1720m after showing early pace at Melton was 4th-10.1 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Spun Silver (2:06.90) on July 10 at $151. Hard to have on those efforts.

Better than last start and can improve sharply.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Myrtle May at Maryborough over 1690m on July 13 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Foregone Conclusion at Ballarat over 2200m on July 23 at $4. Expected to feature in the finish.
