Cranbourne Race 4 - Designer Coolrooms Hcp (C1)
HOWDY (6) improved sharply last start at the second run of the campaign, working home late to get up for second over 1200m at Pakenham. Failed at his only try at 1400m but it was on a bog at the end of last prep. Ready to perform to his best. FEAR NO EVIL (1) has the X-factor after an arrogant all-the-way win on debut over 1212m at Kyneton fifteen days ago. Will have some smarter gallopers chasing this time but if he progresses as expected with that run under the belt another win is on the cards. PRAY DAY (5) did his best work late to get up for third, a length behind HOWDY, when resuming over 1200m at Pakenham recently. This trip is a nice progression at this stage of the prep. One to watch for in the closing stages. MAKDANE (2) was safely held when fresh from a long spell at Pakenham last start. Handy on his day and will derive great benefit from that last hit-out. COCOBILL (4) compounded in the straight first-up but should offer a bit more this time.

Claiming his maiden victory on debut; favourite; won by 2.25 len at Kyneton 3yo Mdn-Sw March 20 over 1212m on a soft track defeating Mini Angel with 58kg at $1.70. Big chance with natural improvement to come.

Second run back. First-up after 10 months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Pakenham Cl1 on March 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Unconquerable with 60kg at $3.90. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn on April 10 over 1400m, slow going 1.3 len behind Our Sassy Lady with 59kg at $2.50. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign second last of 9 at this track 3yo Hcp November 23 over 2025m, 7 len behind Kaluakoi carrying 60kg at $4. On debut fifth of 11 at Ballarat 3yo Mdn-Sw October 17 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Lady Sadler carrying 58kg at $11. Will improve on whatever he does in this.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at this track Bm58 on March 21 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind British Poet with 55.5kg at $16. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on September 6 over 1500m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Super Sleuth carrying 57.5kg at $21. Back in good shape and worth an each-way investment.

Second run back. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after four months eased back early on 7th of 9 at Kyneton Cg&E Bm58 on February 27 over 1203m, 5 len behind Primal Spirit with 59kg at $31. Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Warrnambool Bm58 on October 4 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Feargal with 61kg at $17. Others make more appeal.
