Cranbourne Race 4 - Ladbrokes Owners Bonus Mdn Plate
CHEST OF GOLD (2) has shown good ability in two runs to date, second to Astral Flame on debut at Pakenham which saw him qualify for the Future Stars Final, sticking on gamely for a narrow fourth there. This should be easier and he maps ideally. AL PRANCER (1) has placed in all three runs to date, solid behind a smart winner at Sale last time out. He draws to effect and can win. PUGLIA (11) resumes having just found one better in all three runs to date, behind some talented types. She profiles like she'll get over plenty of ground but this is a suitable first up assignment. MANIFEST THE MILLI (3) appreciated a quick rise in trip at Moe last time out, showing pace to lead over the mile. Back in trip here is the query. HEAT OF THE NIGHT (9) was okay fresh and is in the mix.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd of 9 at Sale Mdn-Sw on February 25 over 1423m, 2.75 len behind Bourtange with 59kg at $2.40. The start before that 3rd of 12 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 6 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Time Lapse with 58kg at $7.50. An inside barrier is a big advantage. Perfectly placed to get off the mark.
