Cranbourne Race 2 - Hertz Mdn Plate
THE OPPORTUNIST (7) resumes for his second campaign. He was in the market at both runs, the debut effort in a (relatively thin) listed race. He's had more time to mature and has jumped out well. TARGET SET (10) is a filly by American Pharoah on debut for the Busuttin & Young stable. She's been jumping out well enough for this and should be staying on strongly. STAY COSMIC (6) is a rig by Cosmic Force on debut for the Stokes yard who has won a jump out leading in. Respect. SIGNORETTI (4) was solid on debut at Ballarat with every chance to improve. Watch the market with CASUAL CHAI (1) who has won a jump out leading in.

Filly by American Pharoah making her first race start. Trial form indicates she's up to a solid debut. Won a Cranbourne jump-out on March 17. Can make an immediate impact despite a tricky gate.
