Cranbourne Race 3 - Minuteman Press Narre Warren Mdn Plate
STEADFAST (10) sets up nicely here. She's just found one better in her past couple of starts behind some promising types, only a nose off the well-regarded Miss Alexis last time at Sandown Hillside. Finds the right race to knock the maiden over. ALPINE COWGIRL (7) has run third in both starts to date, handling the rise to this trip last time out. Can improve again. HOMEWARD (8) has been finding the line well in two runs to date and now steps up in trip again which should suit. Don't discount.
