Cranbourne Race 8 - Worlds Best Hoof Oil Pace
HARLEY LANE (4) impressed when fresh from a spell last start when successful over 1690m at Kilmore on November 5, getting home by 2.5 metres. Stepping up a level this time but she is capable of another big performance. ROM BARO (6) showed plenty of fight to salute last start over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, getting home by just 1.1 metres. This is a nice drop in class so he is a major player again. ELIZAJANE (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at Echuca over 1755m. CYCLONE JENNI (5) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her score over 1609m at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr3) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 25 m by Captain Moonlight (2:43.00) on November 7 at $17. Showed ability the run before when he won by 9 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Ballarat (2:01.30) beating Springfield River in 3yo on October 29 at $3.30 at the bell was 4th-8.04. Can bounce back.

No surprise if she turned things around.
